Answer: Approximately 0.96×10^95 or 9.6×10^94

Explanation:

The quotient of 7.584×10^97 and 7.9×10^2 can be calculated by dividing the two numbers. When dividing numbers in scientific notation, we divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents. So, the quotient is (7.584/7.9)×10^(97-2) which is approximately 0.96×10^95 or 9.6×10^94 when expressed in scientific notation.
