Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (1.4310^15)/(1.0910^12)

$\frac{1.43 \cdot 10^{15}}{1.09 \cdot 10^{12}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{1.43}{1.09}) (\frac{10^{15}}{10^{12}})$

Step 2

Divide $1.43$ by $1.09$ .

$1.3119266 \frac{10^{15}}{10^{12}}$

Step 3

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

$1.3119266 \cdot 10^{15 + 12 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $12$ by $- 1$ .

$1.3119266 \cdot 10^{15 - 12}$

Step 5

Subtract $12$ from $15$ .

$1.3119266 \cdot 10^{3}$
