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

What is representation of numbers in the form of numbers called?
Standard form
Why do you have standard form?
There are many different standard forms: standard forms of numbers, of linear equations, of circles, etc. The standard form of numbers simplifies working with very large and very small numbers.
What is slope -8 -2-2 in standard form?
In standard form, there is no slope for three numbers.
How do you convert numbers in scientific notation to standard form?
Do nothing! Standard form and scientific notation are the same.
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.
