Question

Ok. Can someone please teach me how to divide numbers written in scientific notation?

Answer 1

Subtract the power of the denominator from the numerator

Answer 2

I'm still confused.

Answer 3

Ya :) Deal with the powers of 10 separately.
Example:\[\large\rm \frac{2.34\times10^6}{1.52\times10^2}=\frac{2.34}{1.52}\times\frac{10^6}{10^2}\]And then apply exponent rule to the powers of 10, as Comp is describing.

Answer 4

Say I have \[\frac{ 4 \times 10^3 }{ 2 \times 10^2}\] I would want to divide the numbers like regular and subtract the powers.

So I would say 4 divided by 2, and 3 - 2

Answer 5

I am not needed here

Answer 6

\[2 \times 10 ^1\] and that would be my solution

Answer 7

Get it?

Answer 8

Ok. Thanks.
