4.8x10^5^2 divide 2.8x10^4
4.8x10^5^2 divide 2.8x10^4
= (4.8/2.8) * 10^5/10^4
= appr 1.714 * 10^1
or simply 17.14
things may change if you recall that
4.8x10^5^2 = 4.8x10^10
(4.8x10^5)^2 = 23.04x10^10
To divide two numbers written in scientific notation, you can use the following steps:
Step 1: Divide the two numbers without considering the exponents. In this case, divide 4.8 by 2.8:
4.8 ÷ 2.8 = 1.7142857142857142
Step 2: Divide the exponents by subtracting them. In this case, subtract the exponent of 10 from the exponent of 10:
5^2 / 4 = 5^(2-4) = 5^(-2) = 1/5^2 = 1/25
Step 3: Multiply the result from step 1 with the result from step 2:
1.7142857142857142 × 1/25 = 0.06857142857142857
Step 4: Adjust the number to scientific notation if necessary. In this case, the number is already in scientific notation, so there is no adjustment needed.
Therefore, 4.8x10^5^2 divided by 2.8x10^4 is approximately 0.06857.
