Suppose a = w*10x and b = y*10z are the two numbers is standard form. Then the mantissae, w and y, belong to the interval [1, 10), and x and z are integers.

a/b = (w*10x)/(y*10z) = (w/y)*10x-z

If w≥y then

w/y lies in the interval [1, 10), and the above is the answer to the division.

If w

w/y is in [0.1, 1) so that 10*w/y is in [1, 10), and the answer is (10*w/y)*10x-z-1

How many numbers 1-200 have an expanded form that is identical to the standard form. what are they?

The answer is 20 and they are: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,8… and 200 The reason is the expanded form of lets say 11 is 10+1 in which case it is not identical to its standard form. Numbers such as 30 is only 30 and is identical to its standard form.
