Solve 4.8*10^-8/6*10^7

$$\frac { 4.8 \times 10 ^ { - 8 } } { 6 \times 10 ^ { 7 } }$$

Evaluate

$$0.0000000000000008$$

Solution Steps

To divide powers of the same base, subtract the numerator's exponent from the denominator's exponent.

$$\frac{4.8}{6\times 10^{15}}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 15 and get 1000000000000000.

$$\frac{4.8}{6\times 1000000000000000}$$

Multiply 6 and 1000000000000000 to get 6000000000000000.

$$\frac{4.8}{6000000000000000}$$

Expand \frac{4.8}{6000000000000000} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{48}{60000000000000000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{48}{60000000000000000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 48.

$$\frac{1}{1250000000000000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {13} \cdot 5 ^ {16}} = 8 \times 10^{-16}$$
