4 * 10² is the number when multiplied to 4 * 10³ gives 16 * 10⁵
To divide exponents (or powers) with the same base, subtract the exponents.
Division is the opposite of multiplication, so it makes sense that because you add exponents when multiplying numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents when dividing numbers with the same base.
The given expression is
4 * 10³ multplies with ____ = 16 * 10⁵
We have to solve this ,
Let the number be x
4 * 10³ multplies with __x__ = 16 * 10⁵
x = (16 * 10⁵ )/(4 * 10³)
x= ( 4² * 10⁵ )/(4 * 10³)
Therefore the numerator and denominator has the same base so
[tex]\rm 4^{2-1} \times 10^{5-3}\\\\\\4^{1} \times 10^{2}\\\\\\4\times 10^{2}[/tex]is the number that when multiplied to 4 * 10³ gives 16 * 10⁵
