Step 2: Simplify and Evaluate the Division

Now divide \(6,\!227,\!020,\!800\) by \(103,\!680\):

Let’s rewrite both numbers in scientific notation for clarity:

  • \(6,\!227,\!020,\!800 = 6.2270208 \ imes 10^9\)
    - \(103,\!680 = 1.0368 \ imes 10^5\)

Then,

\[
\frac{6.2270208 \ imes 10^9}{1.0368 \ imes 10^5} = \left(\frac{6.2270208}{1.0368}\right) \ imes 10^{9-5} = \left(\frac{6,\!227,\!020,\!800}{103,\!680}\right)
\]

Using a calculator or long division:

\[
6,\!227,\!020,\!800 \div 103,\!680 = 60,\!060
