8.897*10^6/ 3.2*10^4= ?
in scientific notation form
2.78 (rounded to the nearest 100th)x 10^3
8.897 * 10 ^ 6 / 3.2 * 10 ^ 4 =
( 8.897 / 3.2 ) * 10 ^ 6 / 10 ^ 4 =
( 8.897 / 3.2 ) * 10 ^ 2 = 2.7803125 * 10 ^ 2
To divide two numbers written in scientific notation, you can divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents.
Let's evaluate the division:
8.897 * 10^6 / 3.2 * 10^4
Step 1: Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front of the scientific notation).
8.897 / 3.2 = 2.7778125
Step 2: Subtract the exponents (the numbers that indicate the power of 10).
6 - 4 = 2
Therefore, the value in scientific notation form is 2.7778125 * 10^2.
