Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (2.610^5)/(1.310^-4)

$\frac{2.6 \cdot 10^{5}}{1.3 \cdot 10^{- 4}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{2.6}{1.3}) (\frac{10^{5}}{10^{- 4}})$

Step 2

Divide $2.6$ by $1.3$ .

$2 \frac{10^{5}}{10^{- 4}}$

Step 3

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

$2 \cdot 10^{5 - 4 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 4$ by $- 1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{5 + 4}$

Step 5

Add $5$ and $4$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{9}$
