Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (610^7)/(510^2)

$\frac{6 \cdot 10^{7}}{5 \cdot 10^{2}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{6}{5}) (\frac{10^{7}}{10^{2}})$

Step 2

Divide $6$ by $5$ .

$1.2 \frac{10^{7}}{10^{2}}$

Step 3

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

$1.2 \cdot 10^{7 + 2 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $2$ by $- 1$ .

$1.2 \cdot 10^{7 - 2}$

Step 5

Subtract $2$ from $7$ .

$1.2 \cdot 10^{5}$
