Solve 5*10^-3+6*10^-6

$$5 \times { 10 }^{ -3 } +6 \times { 10 }^{ -6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{2503}{500000}=0.005006$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 10 to the power of -3 and get \frac{1}{1000}.

$$5\times \frac{1}{1000}+6\times 10^{-6}$$

Multiply 5 and \frac{1}{1000} to get \frac{1}{200}.

$$\frac{1}{200}+6\times 10^{-6}$$

Calculate 10 to the power of -6 and get \frac{1}{1000000}.

$$\frac{1}{200}+6\times \frac{1}{1000000}$$

Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{1000000} to get \frac{3}{500000}.

$$\frac{1}{200}+\frac{3}{500000}$$

Add \frac{1}{200} and \frac{3}{500000} to get \frac{2503}{500000}.

$$\frac{2503}{500000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2503}{2 ^ {5} \cdot 5 ^ {6}} = 0.005006$$
