Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (31.510^16)/(4.510^6)

$\frac{31.5 \cdot 10^{16}}{4.5 \cdot 10^{6}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{31.5}{4.5}) (\frac{10^{16}}{10^{6}})$

Step 2

Divide $31.5$ by $4.5$ .

$7 \frac{10^{16}}{10^{6}}$

Step 3

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

$7 \cdot 10^{16 + 6 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $6$ by $- 1$ .

$7 \cdot 10^{16 - 6}$

Step 5

Subtract $6$ from $16$ .

$7 \cdot 10^{10}$
