Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (2.410^11)/(510^6)

$\frac{2.4 \cdot 10^{11}}{5 \cdot 10^{6}}$

Step 1

Divide using scientific notation.

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

$(\frac{2.4}{5}) (\frac{10^{11}}{10^{6}})$

Divide $2.4$ by $5$ .

$0.48 \frac{10^{11}}{10^{6}}$

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

$0.48 \cdot 10^{11 + 6 \cdot - 1}$

Multiply $6$ by $- 1$ .

$0.48 \cdot 10^{11 - 6}$

Subtract $6$ from $11$ .

$0.48 \cdot 10^{5}$

Step 2

Move the decimal point in $0.48$ to the right by $1$ place and decrease the power of $10^{5}$ by $1$ .

$4.8 \cdot 10^{4}$
