Question

What is the quotient of 4.68×10^6 and 2.6×10^2 expressed in scientific notation

Answer 1

`(4.68*10^6)/(2.6*10^2)`

To solve the quotient between 2 numbers in scientific notation we have to perform 2 operations, one with the exponents of the notation and another between the numbers in the following way

`\begin{gathered} (4.68*10^6)/(2.6*10^2)=(4.68)/(2.6)*10^(6-2) \\ (4.68*10^6)/(2.6*10^2)=1.8*10^4 \end{gathered}`

So the answer is

`1.8*10^4=18000`
