Description
When using scientific notation (the `E` symbol) in the denominator of a division operation, the calculator returns an incorrect result.
The parser appears to be treating the `E` notation as an implicit multiplication operation (`* 10^x`) subject to standard order of operations, rather than evaluating the entire scientific number as a single value.
**To Reproduce**
1. Input the expression `1÷1.0E-9`. The value `1.0E-9` can be copied from previous result and pasted into the expression.
2. The result will be `1.0E-9`, which is incorrect.
**Expected behavior**
The result should be `1.0E+9`

Research direction
Start by reproducing `1÷1.0E-9` in the Android calculator and trace the parser handling of scientific notation in the denominator. Verify the result against the expected `1.0E+9`, including the pasted value scenario, and add coverage for this expression if the project’s tests provide a suitable parser test location.
