Multiply 5 comma 000 comma 000 times open paren 6 point 7 times 10 to the negative 7 power close paren is equal to open paren 5 times 10 to the 6th power close paren times open paren 6 point 7 times 10 to the negative 7 power close paren is equal to open paren 5 times 6 point 7 close paren times open paren 10 raised to the 6 plus 7 power close paren is equal to 33 point 5 times 10 to the 13th power is equal to 3 point 3 5 times 10 to the 14th power kg

Divide 5,000,0006.7×10−7=5×1066.7×10−7=(56.7)×106+(−7)=0.74×10−1=0.074

Divide the fraction with numerator 5 comma 000 comma 000 and denominator 6 point 7 times 10 to the negative 7 power is equal to the fraction with numerator 5 times 10 to the 6th power and denominator 6 point 7 times 10 to the negative 7 power is equal to open paren 5 over 6 point 7 close paren times 10 raised to the 6 plus negative 7 power is equal to 0 point 7 4 times 10 inverse is equal to 0 point 0 7 4 kg

Multiply 5,000,000(6.7×10−7)=(5×106)⋅(6.7×10−7)=(5⋅6.7)(106+(−7))=33.5×10−1=3.35
