Division exponential notation

A major advantage of exponential notation is that it simplifies the processes of multiplication and division. To multiply, add exponents ... [Pg.644]

It often happens that multiplication or division yields an answer that is not in standard exponential notation. For example,... [Pg.644]

A major benefit of presenting numbers in scientific notation is that it simplifies common arithmetic operations. The simplifying abilities of scientific notation cire most evident in multiplication and division. (As we note in the next section, addition and subtraction benefit from exponential notation but not necesscirily from strict scientific notation.)... [Pg.9]

Division of two numbers expressed in exponential notation involves normal division of the initial numbers and subtraction of the exponent of the divisor from that of the dividend. For example,... [Pg.1072]

Multiplication and Division When numbers expressed in exponential notation are multiplied, the exponents are added when numbers expressed in exponential notation are divided, the exponent of the denominator is subtracted from the exponent of the numerator. [Pg.1052]

The multiplication and division of numbers written in scientific notation can be done qnite simply by using some characteristics of exponentials. Consider the following multipUcation ... [Pg.53]
