5 × 106
is 10,000 times greater than 5 × 102.
To find out how many times greater 5 × 106 is compared to 5 × 102, you need to divide 5 × 106 by 5 × 102.
So the calculation would be: (5 × 106) / (5 × 102).
To simplify this calculation, first, divide the 5's and then divide the powers of 10 separately.
(5 × 106) / (5 × 102) = (5 / 5) × (106 / 102).
5 / 5 simplifies to 1, and 106 / 102 can be simplified as well.
(5 × 106) / (5 × 102) = 1 × (106 / 102).
The simplified fraction 106 / 102 can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
106 / 102 = (53 × 2) / (51 × 2).
The 2's cancel out, simplifying the fraction even more.
(53 × 2) / (51 × 2) = 53 / 51.
Now, you have the simplified fraction 53 / 51.
So, 5 × 106 is 53 / 51 times greater than 5 × 102.
To find out how many times greater 5 × 106 is than 5 × 102, you need to divide 5 × 106 by 5 × 102.
(5 × 106) / (5 × 102) = (5/5) × (106/102) = 1 × (103/1) = 103
Therefore, 5 × 106 is 103 times greater than 5 × 102.
