Solve 5,1*10^-4-5,05*10^-4

$$5,1 \cdot 10 ^ { - 4 } - 5,05 \cdot 10 ^ { - 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$0,000005$$

Solution Steps

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

$$5,1\times \frac{1}{10000}-5,05\times 10^{-4}$$

Multiply 5,1 and \frac{1}{10000} to get \frac{51}{100000}.

$$\frac{51}{100000}-5,05\times 10^{-4}$$

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

$$\frac{51}{100000}-5,05\times \frac{1}{10000}$$

Multiply 5,05 and \frac{1}{10000} to get \frac{101}{200000}.

$$\frac{51}{100000}-\frac{101}{200000}$$

Subtract \frac{101}{200000} from \frac{51}{100000} to get \frac{1}{200000}.

$$\frac{1}{200000}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {6} \cdot 5 ^ {5}} = 5.000000000000001 \times 10^{-6}$$
