Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the GCF of 80 and 32.
I'd start by identifying possible integer factors of both 80 and 32:
80: {1,2,4,5,8,10,16,20, 40, 80}
32: {1, 2,4, 8, 16, 32}
Working backwards, we see that the first factor that is represented in both lists is 16. Is 80 evenly divisible by 16? Yes; the quotient is 5.
Is 32 evenly divisible by 16? Yes; the quotient is 2.
You could writet 80 + 32 as 16(5 + 2). This is a product equal to 112, just as 80 + 32 = 112.
Place a decimal point between the first two digits (4 and 8). Erase the commas and the 0s. So you'll have 4.86 left over after you've done that erasing.
Now ask yourself: "how many places to the right must I move the decimal to get 4.86 to turn back to 48,600,000?"
That would be 7 places to the right. That 7 is the exponent over the 10
<h3>Therefore, the answer is 4.86 * 10^7</h3>
This number is 48.6 million
