To find the quotient, we need to divide the number on the left side of the division symbol by the number on the right side of the division symbol.
First, let's express the numbers in scientific notation to simplify the calculation.
The number on the left side, 5.846×10^7, is already in scientific notation.
To express the number on the right side, 7.9×10^2, in scientific notation, we move the decimal point two places to the right, resulting in 7.9×10^4.
Now, let's divide the two numbers:
(5.846×10^7) / (7.9×10^4) = (5.846/7.9) × (10^7/10^4) = 0.739 × 10^3
Finally, let's express the result in scientific notation:
0.739 × 10^3 can be written as 7.39×10^2.
Therefore, the quotient of 5.846×10^7 divided by 7.9×10^2, expressed in scientific notation, is 7.39×10^2.
