So what they want to know is the result you get from dividing the two numbers

anonymous · Answer

the rule that you use when you divide exponents is to subtract them

anonymous · Answer

OK, so we have to divide the numbers and when you do that, you get 250,000,000,000,000,000

to put that number in scientific notation, you move the decimal point over 17 to the left and so you have 2.5 X 10^17
