    Given:

    The population of the city is 7.2 * 10^5

    7.2 x 10 ⁵ in standard from is 720,000

    720,000 is 18 times greater than the population in town.

    720,000 / 18 = 40,000

    The population in the small town is 40,000.

    It can be presented in scientific notation as 4 x 10 ⁴.
