Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (12.4810^-4)/(310^-6)

$\frac{12.48 \cdot 10^{- 4}}{3 \cdot 10^{- 6}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{12.48}{3}) (\frac{10^{- 4}}{10^{- 6}})$

Step 2

Divide $12.48$ by $3$ .

$4.16 \frac{10^{- 4}}{10^{- 6}}$

Step 3

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

$4.16 \cdot 10^{- 4 - 6 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 6$ by $- 1$ .

$4.16 \cdot 10^{- 4 + 6}$

Step 5

Add $- 4$ and $6$ .

$4.16 \cdot 10^{2}$
