The answer is $6.416 * 10^-23$

Given: $40.1 * 1.6 * 10^-24$

Start by multiplying together the first two since they are not powers of ten:
$color(red)64.16 * 10^-24$

We can reexpress $64.16$ as $6.416 * 10^1$
$6.416 * 10^1 * 10^-24$

Multiplying exponents of the same base allows you to add the exponents:
$6.416 * 10^(1-24)$
$6.416 * 10^-23$ Final Answer
