To divide two numbers in scientific notation, you need to divide the first number by the second number, and subtract the exponents of the powers of 10.

Given:
2.592 ร— 10^7 divided by 7.2 ร— 10^4

Step 1: Divide the numbers:
2.592 รท 7.2 = 0.36

Step 2: Subtract the exponents:
10^7 รท 10^4 = 10^(7-4) = 10^3

Therefore, the quotient of 2.592 ร— 10^7 divided by 7.2 ร— 10^4, expressed in scientific notation, is 0.36 ร— 10^3.

To find the quotient of two numbers in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

The given numbers in scientific notation are:

2.592 x 10^7 and 7.2 x 10^4

To find the quotient, divide the coefficients:

2.592 / 7.2 = 0.36

Now, subtract the exponents:

10^7 / 10^4 = 10^(7-4) = 10^3

Therefore, the quotient in scientific notation is 0.36 x 10^3.
