$\frac{(5.8 \cdot 10^{- 6})}{(2 \cdot 10^{- 3})}$

Group coefficients together and exponents together to divide numbers in scientific notation.

$(\frac{5.8}{2}) (\frac{10^{- 6}}{10^{- 3}})$

Divide $5.8$ by $2$ .

$2.9 \frac{10^{- 6}}{10^{- 3}}$

Subtract the exponent from the denominator from the exponent of the numerator for the same base

$2.9 \cdot 10^{- 6 - 3 \cdot - 1}$

Multiply $- 3$ by $- 1$ .

$2.9 \cdot 10^{- 6 + 3}$

Add $- 6$ and $3$ .

$2.9 \cdot 10^{- 3}$
