An online data storage facility has 1.326 x 10^13 bytes of storage available. It has 2.6 x 10^4 customers. How many bytes of storage can each customer use? Write your answer in scientific notation, expressed to the exact decimal place.
To find the number of bytes of storage that each customer can use, we need to divide the total number of bytes by the total number of customers.
Total bytes of storage = 1.326 x 10^13 bytes
Total number of customers = 2.6 x 10^4
Each customer can use:
1.326 x 10^13 / (2.6 x 10^4)
= (1.326 / 2.6) x (10^13 / 10^4)
= 0.510 x 10^(13-4)
= 0.51 x 10^9
= 5.1 x 10^8
Therefore, each customer can use 5.1 x 10^8 bytes of storage.
