To find the half-life of uranium-238, we need to add the additional time to the half-life of uranium-235.

The half-life of uranium-235 is given as 700,000,000 years.
The additional time for uranium-238 is 4.463 × 10^11 years.

Adding these two values gives us:
700,000,000 + 4.463 × 10^11 = 516,300,000,000

Therefore, the half-life of uranium-238 is 516,300,000,000 years.
