Explanation:

2.589x10^6/ 3.687x10^5

1. 2.589/3.687 = 0.702197 [Separate out and divide just the decimal portion first]

2.  10^6/10^5 = 10^(6-5) = 10^1  [Divide the exponent portion next]  When dividing, subtract the denominator exponent from the numerator exponent:  (6-5) = 1.  The exponent is 1.

0.702197x10^1    [Put the two pieces together: 1. and 2.]

7.02197             [Move the decimal point once to the right, which will reduce 10^1 to 10^0, or 1]
