Let's work through the problems one by one. The key here is to ensure that the final answers are expressed with the correct number of significant figures.

### Problem 1
\[
(6.022 \times 10^3) \div (3.44 \times 10^2) = ?
\]

**Solution:**
\[
\frac{6.022 \times 10^3}{3.44 \times 10^2} = \frac{6.022}{3.44} \times 10^{3-2} = 1.750581395 \times 10^1
\]
Since 6.022 has 4 significant figures and 3.44 has 3 significant figures, the final answer should have 3 significant figures:
\[
\boxed{17.5}
\]

### Problem 2
\[
3.00 \times 10^8 \times (4.00 \times 10^2 + 6.00 \times 10^3) = ?
\]

**Solution:**
\[
3.00 \times 10^8 \times (4.00 \times 10^2 + 6.00 \times 10^3) = 3.00 \times 10^8 \times 6.40 \times 10^3 = 1.92 \times 10^{12}
\]
Here, since all numbers are to 3 significant figures, the final answer should also be to 3 significant figures:
\[
\boxed{1.92 \times 10^{12}}
\]

### Problem 3
\[
1902 \times 10^5 \div (5.008 \times 10^{-2}) = ?
\]

**Solution:**
\[
\frac{1902 \times 10^5}{5.008 \times 10^{-2}} = \frac{1902}{5.008} \times 10^{5+2} = 379.7559842 \times 10^7 \approx 3.7976 \times 10^9
\]
The number 1902 has 4 significant figures, and 5.008 has 4 significant figures, so the final answer should have 4 significant figures:
\[
\boxed{3.798 \times 10^9}
\]

### Problem 4
\[
4.87 \times 10^{-5} - 4.60 \times 10^{-6} = ?
\]

**Solution:**
\[
4.87 \times 10^{-5} - 4.60 \times 10^{-6} = (4.87 - 0.046) \times 10^{-5} = 4.824 \times 10^{-5}
\]
Since both numbers have 3 significant figures, the final answer should be:
\[
\boxed{4.82 \times 10^{-5}}
\]

### Problem 5
\[
7.432 \times 4.3 = ?
\]

**Solution:**
\[
7.432 \times 4.3 = 31.9576
\]
Since 4.3 has 2 significant figures, the final answer should have 2 significant figures:
\[
\boxed{32}
\]
