Question

divide. write your answer in scientific notation.
$\frac{4\times10^{9}}{4\times10^{3}}$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the coefficients

$\frac{4}{4}=1$

Step2: Divide the powers of 10

Using the rule $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$, we have $\frac{10^{9}}{10^{3}}=10^{9 - 3}=10^{6}$

Step3: Combine the results

$1\times10^{6}=10^{6}$

Answer:

$10^{6}$
