what is the quotient 8 x 10^24 over 2 x 10^18 in scientific notation?

1 answer

To find the quotient of \( 8 \times 10^{24} \) over \( 2 \times 10^{18} \), we can use the properties of division in scientific notation.

Let's calculate it step by step:

  1. Divide the coefficients: \[ \frac{8}{2} = 4 \]

  2. Subtract the exponents of the powers of ten: \[ 10^{24} \div 10^{18} = 10^{(24 - 18)} = 10^6 \]

  3. Now combine the results: \[ 4 \times 10^6 \]

So, the quotient \( \frac{8 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 10^{18}} \) in scientific notation is: \[ 4 \times 10^6 \]
