To divide the two numbers in scientific notation, you will apply the division rule for exponents.

Here’s the calculation step-by-step:

1. Divide the coefficients:

[

frac{3}{6} = 0.5

]

2. Subtract the exponents:

[

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

]

3. Combine the results:

[

0.5 × 10^{14} = 5 × 10^{13} quad (text{since } 0.5 = 5 times 10^{-1})

]

Thus, the final answer is:

[

5 × 10^{13}

]

This means the answer to the division is (5 × 10^{13}). If you have more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
