To divide 3.6 × 10^-13 by 7.6 × 10^-13:
First, divide the two bases, that is, divide 3.6 and 7.6 to get 0.473684.
Next, subtract the two exponents, that is, -13 minus -13 to get 0.
So, your answer is 0.473684 × 10^0
The first digit has to be between 1-9 so we move the decimal point one space to the left, leaving the final answer as:
4.73684 × 10^-1

= 4.7368E(-1)
*note the E(-13) in the numerator and denominator cancel.
