Answer:

To find how many times greater you have to divide.In this question the bases are the same. This means you can use the exponent law for division.

The exponent for division sates that if you are dividing numbers with the same base but different exponents you can subtract the exponents.

(8.76 x 10e6)divided by (8.76 x 10e2)

The answer of that is 8.76x10e4

This is because e6-e2 is e4

Therefore 8.76x10e6 is 10e4 times greater than 8.76x10e2
