Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (3.610^5)÷(2.410^2)

$(3.6 \cdot 10^{5}) \div (2.4 \cdot 10^{2})$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{3.6}{2.4}) (\frac{10^{5}}{10^{2}})$

Step 2

Divide $3.6$ by $2.4$ .

$1.5 \frac{10^{5}}{10^{2}}$

Step 3

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

$1.5 \cdot 10^{5 + 2 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$1.5 \cdot 10^{5 - 2}$

Step 5

Subtract $2$ from $5$ .

$1.5 \cdot 10^{3}$
