Multiplying… • The general format for multiplying is as follows… • (N x 10x)(M x 10y) = (N)(M) x 10x+y • First multiply the N and M numbers together and express an answer. • Secondly multiply the exponential parts together by adding the exponents together.
Multiplying… • Finally multiply the two results for the final answer. • (2.41 x 104)(3.09 x 102) • 2.41 x 3.09 = 7.45 • 4 + 2 = 6 • 7.45 x 106

Dividing… • The general format for dividing is as follows… • (N x 10x)/(M x 10y) = (N/M) x 10x-y • First divide the N number by the M number and express as an answer. • Secondly divide the exponential parts by subtracting the exponent from the exponent in the upper number.
Dividing… • Finally multiply the two results together to get the final answer. • (4.89 x 107)/(2.74 x 104) • 4.89 / 2.74 = 1.78 • 7 – 4 = 3 • 1.78 x 103
