| \((4.2 \times 10^{10}) \div (8.7 \times 10^6)\) (= 4827.58…) or \((3.7 \times 10^9) \div (6.3 \times 10^5)\) (= 5873.01…) or 42 000 000 000 ÷ 8 700 000 (= 4827.58…) or 3 700 000 000 ÷ 630 000 (= 5873.01…) | M1 |
‘5873.01…’ – ‘4827.58…’ (= 1045.42…) or \(\dfrac{42000000000}{8700000} - \dfrac{3700000000}{630000}\) oe | M1 |
