Answer 1

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculating with Scientific Notation

In scientific notation, a number is expressed as a product of a decimal number between 1 and 10 (the coefficient) and a power of 10 (the exponent). To multiply numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. To divide numbers in scientific notation, you divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. In the given expression, 2.4 × 10¹³ divided by 8 × 10⁷, the result is 3 × 10⁶.
