Solve (17*10^-5)+(2*6*10^-4)

$$( 17 \times 10 ^ { - 5 } ) + ( 2 \cdot 6 \times 10 ^ { - 4 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{137}{100000}=0.00137$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 10 to the power of -5 and get \frac{1}{100000}.

$$17\times \frac{1}{100000}+2\times 6\times 10^{-4}$$

Multiply 17 and \frac{1}{100000} to get \frac{17}{100000}.

$$\frac{17}{100000}+2\times 6\times 10^{-4}$$

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$\frac{17}{100000}+12\times 10^{-4}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -4 and get \frac{1}{10000}.

$$\frac{17}{100000}+12\times \frac{1}{10000}$$

Multiply 12 and \frac{1}{10000} to get \frac{3}{2500}.

$$\frac{17}{100000}+\frac{3}{2500}$$

Add \frac{17}{100000} and \frac{3}{2500} to get \frac{137}{100000}.

$$\frac{137}{100000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{137}{2 ^ {5} \cdot 5 ^ {5}} = 0.00137$$
