Question

Consider these three numbers expressed in scientific notation: 2.4 × 10^4, 6.3 × 10^5, and 9.6 × 10^7. Which number is the greatest, and by how many times is it greater than the smallest number?

Answer 1

greatest = 9.6 × 10^7


Smallest = 2.4 × 10^4


G/S = 9.6 × 10^7 / 2.4 × 10^4 = 4000
