$\frac{7.92 \cdot 10^{- 6}}{2.4 \cdot 10^{5}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{7.92}{2.4}) (\frac{10^{- 6}}{10^{5}})$

Step 2

Divide $7.92$ by $2.4$ .

$3.3 \frac{10^{- 6}}{10^{5}}$

Step 3

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

$3.3 \cdot 10^{- 6 + 5 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $5$ by $- 1$ .

$3.3 \cdot 10^{- 6 - 5}$

Step 5

Subtract $5$ from $- 6$ .

$3.3 \cdot 10^{- 11}$
