Given data:

The first nummber is a=5.1x10^12.

The second number is b=6.3x10^9

The second number can be written as,

b=0.0063x10^12

As, the first number have 10^12 as the exponent and second number also have the same exponent.

we know very well

5.1>>0.0063

Thus, the first nummber is greater than second one.
