Answer provided by our tutors
Our solver is specifically designed for algebraic manipulations and the expression you are simplifying is purely numeric. Manually, you could isolate the exponents 10^8 and 10^5 and as a fraction they would simplify to 10^(8-5)=10^3. The solver, however, is converting numeric terms into prime factors and cancelling common prime factors.
