Final answer:

To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents. In this case, the result is 12.2 x 10^210 in scientific notation or 1,220 x 10^208 in standard form.

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply two numbers in scientific notation, you multiply the coefficients (the numbers out front) and add the exponents. In this case, the coefficients are 6.1 and 2, which gives us 12.2. The exponents are both 105, so we add them to get 210. Therefore, (6.1 x 10^5)(2 x 10^5) is equal to 12.2 x 10^210. This can also be written in standard form as 1,220 x 10^208.
