To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we need to consider the exponent of each number. The number with the highest exponent corresponds to the greatest value.
In this case, 1.292037 times 10^10 has the greatest value since it has the highest exponent of 10.
To compare the given numbers using scientific notation, we need to express them in the form of a number multiplied by a power of 10.
12,740,876,635 = 1.2740876635 × 10^10
1,345,763,334 = 1.345763334 × 10^9
12,920,370,000 = 1.292037 × 10^10
Now, we can see that both 12,740,876,635 and 12,920,370,000 are represented by numbers multiplied by 10^10.
Comparing the two numbers, we see that 12,920,370,000 has a greater value.
Therefore, 12,920,370,000 has the greatest value among the given numbers.
To compare these numbers using scientific notation, we need to rewrite each number in the form of a number multiplied by a power of 10.
1. 12,740,876,635 can be written as 1.2740876635 × 10^10
2. 1,345,763,334 can be written as 1.345763334 × 10^9
3. 12,920,370,000 remains the same as it is already in the correct format.
Now, we can compare the values of the numbers:
1.2740876635 × 10^10 > 1.292037 × 10^10
1.2740876635 × 10^10 > 1.345763334 × 10^9
1.2740876635 × 10^10 > 12,920,370,000
Therefore, the number 1.2740876635 × 10^10 has the greatest value among the given numbers.
