How to divide numbers in scientific notation?
There are two sets of dividing numbers in scientific notation worksheets.
- Divide numbers in scientific notation (positive exponents).
- Divide numbers in scientific notation (include negative exponents)
These are the steps to divide numbers in scientific notation:
- Divide the coefficients of the numbers.
- Subtract the exponents of the numbers.
- Adjust the result to scientific notation if needed.
Example: (3.5 x 105) ÷ (2 x 102)
- Divide the coefficients: 3.5 ÷ 2 = 1.75
- Subtract the exponents: 105 ÷ 102 = 10(5-2) = 103
- Adjust to scientific notation if needed: 10.35 ÷ 105 = 1.035 ÷ 106
Example: (2.1 x 10-4) ÷ (3.5 x 102)
- Divide the coefficients: 2.1 ÷ 7 = 14.7
- Subtract the exponents: 1004 ÷ 102 = 10(-4+2) = 10-2
