Work Step by Step

If we divide 201,186 by 5238, then we get an answer of 38.4089347. In division problems, we need to round the answer to the number of significant figures as the value with the least number of significant figures. In this problem, 5238 has the least number of significant figures, which is four in this case. Rounding the answer to four significant figures, we get 38.41 as the final answer.
