Divide 8.03 x 10-8 ÷ 2.56 x 104
To divide 8.03 x 10^-8 by 2.56 x 10^4, we can use the rules of exponents.
First, we divide the decimal part of the numbers: 8.03 ÷ 2.56 = 3.140625.
Next, we subtract the exponents of 10: 10^-8 ÷ 10^4 = 10^-8-4 = 10^-12.
Putting it all together, we have 3.140625 x 10^-12.
To divide 8.03 x 10^(-8) by 2.56 x 10^(4), you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Divide the numerical values:
8.03 / 2.56 = 3.13671875
Step 2: Divide the exponent of 10:
10^(-8) ÷ 10^(4) = 10^(-8 - 4) = 10^(-12)
Step 3: Combine the result from step 1 and step 2:
3.13671875 x 10^(-12)
So, the result of dividing 8.03 x 10^(-8) by 2.56 x 10^(4) is approximately 3.13671875 x 10^(-12).
To divide 8.03 x 10^(-8) by 2.56 x 10^4, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Express both numbers in scientific notation.
8.03 x 10^(-8) can be written as 0.803 x 10^(-7) since we move the decimal point one place to the right.
2.56 x 10^4 remains the same as it is already in scientific notation.
Step 2: Divide the coefficients.
In this case, divide 0.803 by 2.56, which equals approximately 0.313867.
Step 3: Subtract the exponents.
Since the numbers are in scientific notation, we need to subtract the exponent of 10^(-7) from the exponent of 10^4. -7 - 4 equals -11.
Step 4: Rewrite the answer in scientific notation.
The quotient of 0.313867 with an exponent of -11 can be expressed as 3.13867 x 10^(-12).
