Problem

Solve this problem, expressing the result with engineering notation.

(3 x 103)(8 x 103)  = _____
4 x 106
Procedure

1. Solve the coefficients

(3 x 103)(8 x 103)  
4 x 106
3 x 8  = 6
4

2. Solve the exponents

(3 x 103)(8 x 103)  
4 x 106
3 + 3 6 = 0

3. Complete the division

(3 x 103)(8 x 103)  = 6 x 100 = 6
4 x 106

The solution is already normalized

 
Solution
(3 x 103)(8 x 103)  = 6
4 x 106
