%286+%2A+10+%5E12%29%283.2+%2A+10+%5E8%29%2F%281.6+%2A10+%5E7%29%28+3+%2A10+%5E2%29......apply the product rule for exponents x%5Em%2Ax%5En+=+x%5E%28m%2Bn%29
%286+%2A%283.2%29+%2A+10+%5E20%29%2F%28%281.6+%29%2A+3+%2A10+%5E9%29......apply the quotient rule for exponents x%5Em%2Fx%5En=+x%5E%28m-n%29
%286+%2A%283.2%29+%2A+10+%5E%2820-9%29%29%2F%28%281.6%29+%2A+3%29......divide 6 and 3 by 3
%282%2A%283.2%29+%2A+10+%5E11%29%2F%281.6+%29......
%282%2A%283.2%29+%2A+10+%5E11%29%2F%281.6+%29......divide 2%2A3.2=6.4 by 1.6
