How to divide 5.82*10^5 by 69

Scientific Notation :

1. The coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10.

2. The base must be 10.

3. The exponent must show the number of decimal places

that the decimal needs to be moved to change the number to standard notation.

A negative exponent means that the decimal is moved to the left

when changing to standard notation.

5.82 x 10^5

where :

5.82 is the coefficient

10 is the base

5 is the exponent


5.82*10^5 / 69

= 5.82 * 10^5 / 6.9 x 10^1

= 0.843478261 x 10^4 ( it is still not in scientific notation, make it a standard notation )

= 8434.78261 ( it is in standard notation )

= 8.43478 x 10^3 ( it is already in scientific notation )

My Answer :

8.43478 x 10^3 <--------------- Scientific Notation

or

8434.78261 <-------------------- Standard Notation

But since the question has scientific notation in one of the numbers to be divide.

I prefer my answer in scientific notation than my answer in standard notation.

8434.78260869565217391304347826086956521…

That's the answer, I just felt like giving it a long response.
