123.0 x 12.35 / (0.05 x 6.049) significant figures

123.0*12.35/(0.05*6.049)

first do in small bracket 123.0*12.35/0.30245

and then divide 123.0*40.83319557

and multiply 5022.483055

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
