The value of 2 in 204,936 is worth 200,000.

The value of 2 in 124,936 is worth 20,000.


With these two numbers, we can create a ratio that will tell us how many times greater the first value of 2 is. Our ratio in this problem is:

200,000/20,000.


If we divide 200,000 by 20,000, we get:

200,000/20,000 = 10



Our answer of 10 tells us that the value of 2 in 204,936 is 10 times greater than the value of 2 in 124,936.
