$\frac{4.8 \cdot 10^{2}}{2.4 \cdot 10^{6}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{4.8}{2.4}) (\frac{10^{2}}{10^{6}})$

Step 2

Divide $4.8$ by $2.4$ .

$2 \frac{10^{2}}{10^{6}}$

Step 3

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

$2 \cdot 10^{2 + 6 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $6$ by $- 1$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{2 - 6}$

Step 5

Subtract $6$ from $2$ .

$2 \cdot 10^{- 4}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Scientific Notation:

$2 \cdot 10^{- 4}$

Expanded Form:

$0.0002$
