Answer:

(5.6 * 10^(-18)) / (8.9 * 10^(8)) simplifies to approximately 0.6292 * 10^(-26) in scientific notation.

Explanation:

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, you can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

Given:

(5.6 * 10^(-18)) / (8.9 * 10^(8))

Divide the coefficients:

5.6 / 8.9 = 0.6292

Subtract the exponents:

10^(-18) / 10^(8) = 10^(-18-8) = 10^(-26)

Putting it together:

0.6292 * 10^(-26)
