Answer:

623,000,000,000,000 > 8,912,000,000,000

Explanation:

8.912·10^12

The exponent is 12, making it 10 to the power of 12. As the exponent is positive, the solution is a number greater than the origin or base number. To find our answer, we move the decimal to the right 12 time(s):

8.912 -> 8,912,000,000,000

6.23·10^14

The exponent is 14, making it 10 to the power of 14. As the exponent is positive, the solution is a number greater than the origin or base number. To find our answer, we move the decimal to the right 14 time(s):

6.23 -> 623,000,000,000,000
