An online data storage facility 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 out how many bytes of storage each customer can use, we divide the total storage available by the number of customers:
1.326 x 10^13 bytes ÷ 2.6 x 10^4 customers
To simplify the scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
(1.326 ÷ 2.6) x 10^(13 - 4)
0.510 x 10^9
Therefore, each customer can use 5.10 x 10^8 bytes of storage.
