5 × 10^10 / 5 × 10^−4 What is the result?

To solve the expression ( frac{5 times 10^{10}}{5 times 10^{-4}} ), we can simplify it as follows:

1. Cancel the coefficients: The 5s in the numerator and the denominator cancel each other out, so we have:

[

frac{5}{5} = 1

]

2. Subtract the exponents: For the powers of 10, we subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent in the numerator:

[

10^{10 – (-4)} = 10^{10 + 4} = 10^{14}

]

So, putting it all together, we have:

[

1 times 10^{14}

]

Thus, the correct answer is 1 × 10^14.
