#5/384xx(20*100^4)/(873*2.1*10^6)=0.0142#

Explanation:

#5/384xx(20*100^4)/(873*2.1*10^6#

= #(5xx20)/(384xx873xx2.1)xx100^4/10^6#

= #(5xxcancel20^5)/(cancel384^96xx873xx2.1)xx((10)^2)^4/10^6#

= #25/(96xx873xx2.1)xx10^8/10^6#

= #25/(96xx873xx2.1)xx10^((8-6))#

= #25/175996.8xx100#

= #2500/175996.8#

= #0.0142#
