2.56 x 10^-2 divided by 3.2 x 10^4 show your work
To divide the numbers with exponents, we subtract the exponents and divide the base numbers.
(2.56 x 10^-2) / (3.2 x 10^4)
First, divide the base numbers: 2.56 / 3.2 = 0.8
Then, subtract the exponents: 10^-2 - 10^4 = 10^-2-4 = 10^-6
Therefore, the result is 0.8 x 10^-6.
