#2 xx10^2#

#=200#

A division using values given in scientific notation can be done in the same way as is done in algebra.

Consider: #(12p^4)/(6p^2)#

Divide the numbers and subtract the indices of like bases.

#(12p^4)/(6p^2) = 2p^2#

The same applies with numbers

#(12xx10^4)/(6xx10^2) = 2 xx10^2#
