Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To multiply two numbers written in scientific notation, we first multiply their coefficients and then add their exponents.

Given: 4.82 × 10^12 × 256.7

Coefficient calculation: 4.82 × 256.7 = 1241.994

Exponent calculation: 10^12 × 10^0 = 10^(12+0) = 10^12

Multiplying the coefficient and adding the exponents, we get:
1241.994 × 10^12

Therefore, the final answer is 1.241994 × 10^15.

To perform the multiplication, we need to multiply 4.82 by 10^12 and then multiply the result by 256.7.

Step 1: Multiply 4.82 by 10^12
To multiply a number by a power of 10, you move the decimal point to the right by the number of zeros indicated by the exponent.

4.82 x 10^12 = 4.82 * 1,000,000,000,000 = 4,820,000,000,000

Step 2: Multiply the result from Step 1 by 256.7
Now, we multiply the number obtained in Step 1 (4,820,000,000,000) by 256.7.

4,820,000,000,000 x 256.7 = 1,236,994,000,000,000

So, the product of 4.82 x 10^12 and 256.7 is 1,236,994,000,000,000.
