Let's solve each part step by step.

### Part (a)
The problem is:
\[
4,000,000 \cdot 200 = a \cdot 10^m
\]

First, express each number in scientific notation:
- \( 4,000,000 = 4 \times 10^6 \)
- \( 200 = 2 \times 10^2 \)

Now, multiply these two numbers:
\[
(4 \times 10^6) \cdot (2 \times 10^2) = (4 \cdot 2) \times (10^6 \cdot 10^2) = 8 \times 10^{6 + 2} = 8 \times 10^8
\]
Therefore, \( a = 8 \) and \( m = 8 \).

### Part (b)
The problem is:
\[
1.6 \text{ million} \div 800 = b \cdot 10^n
\]

First, express each number in scientific notation:
- \( 1.6 \text{ million} = 1.6 \times 10^6 \)
- \( 800 = 8 \times 10^2 \)

Now, divide these two numbers:
\[
\frac{1.6 \times 10^6}{8 \times 10^2} = \left(\frac{1.6}{8}\right) \times 10^{6 - 2} = 0.2 \times 10^4
\]
To express \(0.2 \times 10^4\) in scientific notation, convert it to \(2 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^4 = 2 \times 10^{3}\).

Thus, \( b = 2 \) and \( n = 3 \).

### Final Answers
- For (a): \( a = 8 \), \( m = 8 \)
- For (b): \( b = 2 \), \( n = 3 \)
