Evaluate Using Scientific Notation (810^9)/(510^4)

$\frac{8 \cdot 10^{9}}{5 \cdot 10^{4}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{8}{5}) (\frac{10^{9}}{10^{4}})$

Step 2

Divide $8$ by $5$ .

$1.6 \frac{10^{9}}{10^{4}}$

Step 3

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

$1.6 \cdot 10^{9 + 4 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$1.6 \cdot 10^{9 - 4}$

Step 5

Subtract $4$ from $9$ .

$1.6 \cdot 10^{5}$
