Solve -60.639*10^3*(-2.5988*10^-4)

$$-60.639 \times { 10 }^{ 3 } \times (-2.5988 \times { 10 }^{ -4 } )$$

Evaluate

$$15.75886332$$

Solution Steps

To multiply powers of the same base, add their exponents. Add 3 and -4 to get -1.

$$-60.639\times 10^{-1}\left(-2.5988\right)$$

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

$$-60.639\times \frac{1}{10}\left(-2.5988\right)$$

Multiply -60.639 and \frac{1}{10} to get -\frac{60639}{10000}.

$$-\frac{60639}{10000}\left(-2.5988\right)$$

Multiply -\frac{60639}{10000} and -2.5988 to get \frac{393971583}{25000000}.

$$\frac{393971583}{25000000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 17 \cdot 29 \cdot 41 \cdot 73 \cdot 89}{2 ^ {6} \cdot 5 ^ {8}} = 15\frac{18971583}{25000000} = 15.75886332$$
