Hi Mark, One trillion usually means 1012 or one million million (in some places it is 1018 but that is very rare). Since one million is 10^6 and we can change the numbers to 7.9 trillion = 7.9 × 1012 301 million = 301 ×106 So our division is 7.9 × 1012 ÷ 301 ×106 We have cancel one million or 106 from both to get 7.9 × 106÷ 301 So our dividin 7.9 trillion by 301 million is the same as dividing 7.9 million by 301 or 7900000÷301 You can use long division to complete the division Hope this helps, Janice | ||||||||||||
