Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "^-8" was replaced by "^(-8)".

(2): "6.862" was replaced by "(6862/1000)".

Step  1  :

 1.1     10 = 2•5

(10)^-8 = (2•5)^(-8) = (2)^(-8) • (5)^(-8)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  6862
  ———— • ((2)(-8)•(5)(-8))
  1000

Step  2  :

            3431
 Simplify   ————
            500 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  3431
  ———— • ((2)(-8)•(5)(-8))
  500 

Step  3  :

Multiplying exponents :

 3.1    2²  multiplied by  2⁸   = 2^{(2 + 8)} = 2¹⁰

Multiplying exponents :

 3.2    5³  multiplied by  5⁸   = 5^{(3 + 8)} = 5¹¹

Final result :

     3431                                    
  ————————— = 6.86200 • 10-8 
  (210•511)
