Division of Powers of Ten

When dividing numbers in the power-of-ten format, first find the result of dividing the multipliers. Then determine the associated power for the result by subtracting the power of ten of the denominator from the power of ten of the numerator.

 (A x 10^n) / (B x 10^m) = (A / B) x 10^n-m)
