# Divide Scientific Notations Worksheet

## 6 problems

Dividing numbers in scientific notation is a practical method used to manage calculations involving extremely large or small values encountered in scientific fields. When dividing numbers expressed in scientific notation, you begin by dividing the coefficients (the numbers before the "x10" part). Next, you subtract the exponents associated with the scientific notation. This subtraction dictates how the decimal point will be adjusted in the final result.

## Solved Example

Q. Divide. $\frac{3 \times 10^5}{3 \times 10^3}$
Solution:
1. Separate Coefficients and Powers: Separate coefficients and powers of $10$: $\frac{3 \times 10^5}{3 \times 10^3} = \frac{3}{3} \times \frac{10^5}{10^3}$
2. Divide Coefficients: Divide coefficients: $3 \div 3 = 1$
3. Divide Powers of $10$: Divide powers of $10$: $10^5 / 10^3 = 10^{5-3} = 10^2$
4. Combine Results: Combine results: $1 \times 10^2$
