What is the quotient of 5.846 times 10^7

Question

and 7.9 times 10^2
expressed in scientific notation?

Answer 1

To find the quotient of two numbers expressed in scientific notation, we divide the two main numbers and subtract the exponents.

Starting with 5.846 times 10^7 divided by 7.9 times 10^2:
(5.846 / 7.9) times (10^7 / 10^2)
0.7392405063 times 10^7-2 (divide 5.846 by 7.9 and subtract exponents)
0.7392405063 times 10^5 (subtracting exponents)

Therefore, the quotient of 5.846 times 10^7 and 7.9 times 10^2 expressed in scientific notation is 0.7392405063 times 10^5.

Answer 2

round it

Answer 3
