How many times bigger is 8*10^6 than 2*10^2?
4 * 10^4
2 times 4= 8
subtract exponents 6-2 = 4
To find out how many times bigger one number is than another number, you can divide the larger number by the smaller number. In this case, we have:
8 * 10^6 ÷ 2 * 10^2
When dividing numbers in scientific notation, you can divide the coefficients (the numbers in front of the powers of 10) and subtract the exponents (the powers of 10).
So, dividing 8 by 2 gives us 4, and subtracting the exponents 6 and 2 gives us 4.
Therefore, 8 * 10^6 is 4 times bigger than 2 * 10^2.
