To divide (8 x 10^5) by (20 x 10^7), we can first divide the numerical coefficients:
8 ÷ 20 = 0.4
Then, we subtract the exponents of 10:
10^5 ÷ 10^7 = 10^(5-7) = 10^(-2)
Combining the results, we get:
(8 x 10^5) ÷ (20 x 10^7) = 0.4 x 10^(-2)
Thus, the answer in scientific notation is 0.4 x 10^(-2).
