Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (3.610^5)÷(1.810^9)

$(3.6 \cdot 10^{5}) \div (1.8 \cdot 10^{9})$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{3.6}{1.8}) (\frac{10^{5}}{10^{9}})$

Step 2

Divide $3.6$ by $1.8$ .

$2 \frac{10^{5}}{10^{9}}$

Step 3

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

$2 \cdot 10^{5 + 9 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $9$ by $- 1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{5 - 9}$

Step 5

Subtract $9$ from $5$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{- 4}$
