To divide the numbers in scientific notation, you will divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.

Let’s do it step by step.

1. Divide the coefficients:

For your first division:

[

frac{2}{2} = 1

]

For your second division:

[

frac{3}{1} = 3

]

2. Subtract the exponents:

For your first division:

[

10^{5 – 2} = 10^{3}

]

For your second division:

[

10^{7 – 2} = 10^{5}

]

3. Combine the results:

So, the final results are:

[

1 times 10^{3} quad text{and} quad 3 times 10^{5}

]

In summary, you have:

– First division result: (1 times 10^{3})

– Second division result: (3 times 10^{5})
