Solve 4.8*10^6/1.2*10^4

$$\frac { 4.8 \times 10 ^ { 6 } } { 1.2 \times 10 ^ { 4 } }$$

Evaluate

$$400$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 10^{4} in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{4.8\times 10^{2}}{1.2}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of 2 and get 100.

$$\frac{4.8\times 100}{1.2}$$

Multiply 4.8 and 100 to get 480.

$$\frac{480}{1.2}$$

Expand \frac{480}{1.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$\frac{4800}{12}$$

Divide 4800 by 12 to get 400.

$$400$$

Factor

$$2^{4}\times 5^{2}$$
