To divide the numbers in scientific notation, you can follow these steps:

1. Divide the coefficients (the numbers in front):

Here we divide 7 by 7:

[

frac{7}{7} = 1

]

2. Subtract the exponents of the powers of 10:

Here we subtract 4 from 3:

[

10^{(4-3)} = 10^1

]

3. Combine the results:

Putting it all together gives us:

[

1 times 10^1

]

In scientific notation, we typically write this as:

[

1 times 10^1 = 10

]

So the answer is 10 in scientific notation.
