1 answer

Let's choose 1.95x10^6 and 4.82x10^12 and divide them.

Step 1: Divide the coefficients
1.95 / 4.82 ≈ 0.40415

Step 2: Divide the exponents
10^6 / 10^12 = 10^(6-12) = 10^-6

Step 3: Put the results together
0.40415 x 10^-6 = 4.0415 x 10^-1

Therefore, the result of dividing 1.95x10^6 by 4.82x10^12 is 4.0415 x 10^-1.
