For this case we must find the quotient of the following expression:
[tex]\frac {4.86 * 10 ^ 9} {2.43 * 10 ^ 3}[/tex]
By definition of division of powers of the same base we have:
[tex]\frac {a ^ m} {a ^ n} = a ^ {m-n}[/tex]
So, rewriting the expression we have:
[tex]\frac {4.86} {2.43} * 10 ^ {9-3} =2 * 10 ^ 6[/tex]
Answer:
The exponent is 6
The quotient coefficient is 2
The operation is division of powers of the same base, the same base is placed and the exponents are subtracted.
