An online data storage facility has 1.326×1013 bytes of storage available. It has 2.6×104 customers. How many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.
To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we can divide the total bytes of storage available by the number of customers.
1.326×10^13 bytes / 2.6×10^4 customers = 5.1×10^8 bytes per customer.
Therefore, each customer can use 5.1×10^8 bytes of storage.
To find out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we need to divide the total available storage by the number of customers.
1.326×10^13 bytes ÷ 2.6×10^4 customers
To divide numbers in scientific notation, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
(1.326 ÷ 2.6) × 10^(13 - 4)
The division of the coefficients is approximately 0.510769.
The subtraction of the exponents is 13 - 4 = 9.
Thus, each customer can use approximately 0.510769 × 10^9 bytes of storage.
Expressing this in scientific notation, the final answer is:
5.10769 × 10^8 bytes.
