Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (1.2010^6)/(6.010^5)

$\frac{1.2 \cdot 10^{6}}{6 \cdot 10^{5}}$

Step 1

Divide using scientific notation.

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

$(\frac{1.2}{6}) (\frac{10^{6}}{10^{5}})$

Divide $1.2$ by $6$ .

$0.2 \frac{10^{6}}{10^{5}}$

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

$0.2 \cdot 10^{6 + 5 \cdot - 1}$

Multiply $5$ by $- 1$ .

$0.2 \cdot 10^{6 - 5}$

Subtract $5$ from $6$ .

$0.2 \cdot 10^{1}$

Step 2

Move the decimal point in $0.2$ to the right by $1$ place and decrease the power of $10^{1}$ by $1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{0}$

Step 3

Convert $2 \cdot 10^{0}$ from scientific notation.

$2$
