$\frac{9 \cdot 10^{- 5}}{3 \cdot 10^{- 6}}$

Step 1

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

$(\frac{9}{3}) (\frac{10^{- 5}}{10^{- 6}})$

Step 2

Divide $9$ by $3$ .

$3 \frac{10^{- 5}}{10^{- 6}}$

Step 3

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

$3 \cdot 10^{- 5 - 6 \cdot - 1}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 6$ by $- 1$ .

$3 \cdot 10^{- 5 + 6}$

Step 5

Add $- 5$ and $6$ .

$3 \cdot 10^{1}$
