$\frac{2.4 \cdot 10^{7}}{1.6 \cdot 10^{- 9}}$

Step 1

Group coefficients together and exponents together to divide numbers in scientific notation.

$(\frac{2.4}{1.6}) (\frac{10^{7}}{10^{- 9}})$

Step 2

Divide $2.4$ by $1.6$ .

$1.5 \frac{10^{7}}{10^{- 9}}$

Step 3

Subtract the exponent from the denominator from the exponent of the numerator for the same base

$1.5 \cdot 10^{7 - 9 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 9$ by $- 1$ .

$1.5 \cdot 10^{7 + 9}$

Step 5

Add $7$ and $9$ .

$1.5 \cdot 10^{16}$
