$\frac{24 \cdot 10^{9}}{4.8 \cdot 10^{7}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{24}{4.8}) (\frac{10^{9}}{10^{7}})$

Step 2

Divide $24$ by $4.8$ .

$5 \frac{10^{9}}{10^{7}}$

Step 3

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

$5 \cdot 10^{9 + 7 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $7$ by $- 1$ .

$5 \cdot 10^{9 - 7}$

Step 5

Subtract $7$ from $9$ .

$5 \cdot 10^{2}$

Step 6

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Scientific Notation:

$5 \cdot 10^{2}$

Expanded Form:
