Solve 3.7*10^-2-4.3*10^-5

$$3.7 \times 10 ^ { - 2 } - 4.3 \times 10 ^ { - 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$0.036957$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 10 to the power of -2 and get \frac{1}{100}.

$$3.7\times \frac{1}{100}-4.3\times 10^{-5}$$

Multiply 3.7 and \frac{1}{100} to get \frac{37}{1000}.

$$\frac{37}{1000}-4.3\times 10^{-5}$$

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

$$\frac{37}{1000}-4.3\times \frac{1}{100000}$$

Multiply 4.3 and \frac{1}{100000} to get \frac{43}{1000000}.

$$\frac{37}{1000}-\frac{43}{1000000}$$

Subtract \frac{43}{1000000} from \frac{37}{1000} to get \frac{36957}{1000000}.

$$\frac{36957}{1000000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 97 \cdot 127}{2 ^ {6} \cdot 5 ^ {6}} = 0.036957$$
