Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (6.510^15)/(1.310^8)

$\frac{6.5 \cdot 10^{15}}{1.3 \cdot 10^{8}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{6.5}{1.3}) (\frac{10^{15}}{10^{8}})$

Step 2

Divide $6.5$ by $1.3$ .

$5 \frac{10^{15}}{10^{8}}$

Step 3

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

$5 \cdot 10^{15 + 8 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $8$ by $- 1$ .

$5 \cdot 10^{15 - 8}$

Step 5

Subtract $8$ from $15$ .

$5 \cdot 10^{7}$
