Ok this is basic maths. I assume you meant divide 357 by 29 (and not divide 29 by 357) -> which means find 357/29.
You would get 12 remainder 9.

The standard form for the second one is the same as the original, which is 2.3*10^4.

The answer is NONE of those choices. Why? Because if you divide a small number by a LARGE one, your answer will be fractional (less than 1 whole).

However, if you were to reverse this and divide 357 by 29, (BIG number divided by small one), then things would be different. There's nothing that you can multiply 29 by to get 357, but multiplying it by 12 gets you "close enough" by giving you 348. So you have at least 12 wholes.

Now you'd subtract that 348 from 357, giving you 9 leftover pieces called remainder. So our final answer would be 12R9, which means 12 wholes and 9 leftover pieces.

Divide 29 by 357 gives 29/537 only. This is only simplest form of the fraction.
The standard form of 2.3*10^4 is this only. 2.3*10^4 is in its standard form. In the standard form there should be only one digit in integral part and that must be non-zero.

Okay....? well none of the above if you wrote down the question right. 29/357 = 0.081 (rounded), if you meant 357/29 then the answer should be 12r9 or 12.31 (rounded). So either way and whatever question. There are some answers. Have a good day.
