To divide two numbers written in scientific notation, you divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.
In this case,
(5.6 × 10^2) ÷ (1.4 × 10^-6) = (5.6 ÷ 1.4) × 10^(2-(-6)) = 4 × 10^8
Therefore, the quotient of the expression is 4 × 10^8.
What is the quotient of the following expression?
(5.6 × 102) ÷ (1.4 × 10−6)
