subtract 4.66 x 10-5 - 7.34 x 107
To subtract these numbers, we need to express them in the same scientific notation format:
4.66 x 10^(-5) - 7.34 x 10^7
To express both numbers with the same exponent, let's convert 4.66 x 10^(-5) to a number with an exponent of 7:
4.66 x 10^(-5) = 0.0000466 x 10^7
Now we can subtract the two numbers:
0.0000466 x 10^7 - 7.34 x 10^7 = (0.0000466 - 7.34) x 10^7
Simplify the subtraction:
- 7.3399534 x 10^7
The result is approximately - 7.34 x 10^7.
To subtract 4.66 x 10^-5 from 7.34 x 10^7, we first need to make sure both numbers have the same exponent.
Converting 7.34 x 10^7 to scientific notation:
7.34 x 10^7
Now, we can subtract the numbers:
(7.34 x 10^7) - (4.66 x 10^-5)
To subtract these two numbers, we need to subtract the mantissas (the numbers in front of the "x 10") and keep the exponent the same.
Mantissas subtraction:
7.34 - 4.66 = 2.68
Exponent remains the same:
10^7
So, the result of subtracting 4.66 x 10^-5 from 7.34 x 10^7 is 2.68 x 10^7.
To subtract 4.66 x 10^-5 from 7.34 x 10^7, you need to ensure that the exponents are the same.
First, let's convert both numbers to scientific notation with the same exponent.
4.66 x 10^-5 can be written as 0.0000466 x 10^7.
Now, we can subtract:
(7.34 x 10^7) - (0.0000466 x 10^7)
Since the exponents are now the same, we can directly subtract the coefficients:
7.34 - 0.0000466 = 7.3399534
Finally, we multiply the result by 10^7 to convert it back to scientific notation:
7.3399534 x 10^7
