Let us work on the posted problem step by step.

$(2.09 times 10^5) divide (5.006 times 10^{-3})$

by rewriting in fraction form,

$={2.09}/{5.006} times {10^5}/{10^{-3}}$

by computing each factor,

$approx 0.4175 times 10^8$

$=4.175 times 10^7$

(Caution: The above is not the exact value but an approximation.)

I hope that this was helpful.
