We are given these two numbers:

4*10^(-7) and 1.08*10^(-9).

What is similar is that they are in scientific notation, that is, the base of both is

between 1 and 9.

The difference is in the exponent. 0.0000004 is lesser than 1, so the exponent will be negative, while 1,080,000,000 is greater than 1, so the exponent will be positive.
