Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (110^15)/(810^4)

$\frac{1 \cdot 10^{15}}{8 \cdot 10^{4}}$

Step 1

Divide using scientific notation.

Group coefficients together and exponents together to divide numbers in scientific notation.

$(\frac{1}{8}) (\frac{10^{15}}{10^{4}})$

Divide $1$ by $8$ .

$0.125 \frac{10^{15}}{10^{4}}$

Subtract the exponent from the denominator from the exponent of the numerator for the same base

$0.125 \cdot 10^{15 + 4 \cdot - 1}$

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$0.125 \cdot 10^{15 - 4}$

Subtract $4$ from $15$ .

$0.125 \cdot 10^{11}$

Step 2

Move the decimal point in $0.125$ to the right by $1$ place and decrease the power of $10^{11}$ by $1$ .

$1.25 \cdot 10^{10}$
