8 x 10,000 = 80,000

80,000 / 8 = 10,000

The number of times the 8 in the first number as compared to the 8 in the 2nd number varies on its place value.

For example: If 8 in the 2nd number is in the tens place, 417,081, Then, the 8 in the first number is 1,000 times greater than the 2nd number.

8 x 10,000 = 80,000
8 x 10 = 80

80,000 / 80 = 1,000
