Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (510^6)/(210^4)

$\frac{5 \cdot 10^{6}}{2 \cdot 10^{4}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{5}{2}) (\frac{10^{6}}{10^{4}})$

Step 2

Divide $5$ by $2$ .

$2.5 \frac{10^{6}}{10^{4}}$

Step 3

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

$2.5 \cdot 10^{6 + 4 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$2.5 \cdot 10^{6 - 4}$

Step 5

Subtract $4$ from $6$ .

$2.5 \cdot 10^{2}$
