can someone help me by explaiining how to divide this

(6 * 10^-3)(7*10^5) / 3 * 10^-4
 
(6 * 10^-3)(7*10^5) / 3 * 10^-4


(6 x 7) /3 ........ (10^3 x 10^5)/(10^4)

14

(14)............(10^(3+5-4))

14 x 10^4
 
Hello, CARIRAMOS!

The "numerical" part is: .673=14\displaystyle \frac{6\bullet7}{3}\,=\,14

The "exponential" part is: .103105104  =  103+5(4)  =  106\displaystyle \frac{10^{-3}\bullet10^5}{10^{-4}} \;= \;10^{-3 +5-(-4)}\;=\;10^6

The answer is: . 14106   or   1.4107\displaystyle 14\bullet10^6\;\text{ or }\;1.4\bullet10^7
 
oops, lost your negative sign

(14)............(10^(-3+5-(-4) ) )


(14) ........(10^( 6 ))

14 x 10^( 6 )


or 1.4 x 10^7
