Answer
$$ \dfrac{ 635 }{ 287 } = 2.21254 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write both numbers in scientific notation. For more information, use the SN Converter.
$$ 635 = 6.35\cdot 10^{2} $$$$ 287 = 2.87\cdot 10^{2} $$Step 2: Divide the numeric parts. Note that in intermediate calculations, we need 6 significant digits.
$$ \frac{ 6.35 }{ 2.87 } \approx 2.21254 $$Step 3: Divide $10^{ 2 }$ by $10^{ 2 }$:
$$ \frac{ 10^{ 2 } }{ 10^{ 2 } } = 10^{ 2 - 2 } = 10^{ 0 } = 1 $$Step 4: Write the solution as the product of the numbers obtained in steps two and three.
$$ 2.21254 \cdot 1 = 2.21254 $$This page was created using
