$\frac{12 \cdot 10^{7}}{6 \cdot 10^{4}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{12}{6}) (\frac{10^{7}}{10^{4}})$

Step 2

Divide $12$ by $6$ .

$2 \frac{10^{7}}{10^{4}}$

Step 3

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

$2 \cdot 10^{7 + 4 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $4$ by $- 1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{7 - 4}$

Step 5

Subtract $4$ from $7$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{3}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Scientific Notation:

$2 \cdot 10^{3}$
