You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Divide the coefficients: 1.728/5.4 = 0.32\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract the exponents: 2-8 = -6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1.728 x 10^2/5.4 x 10 ^8 \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "turns into\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.32 x 10^(-6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3.2 x 10^(-1)) x 10^(-6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3.2 x (10^(-1) x 10^(-6))\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3.2 x (10^(-1 + -6))\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3.2 x 10^(-7)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is 3.2 x 10^(-7) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
