How many times less is 10^2 than 10^6? Express your answer as an integer power of 10.
A. 10^-4
B. 10^4
C. 0.0001
D. 10,000
To find out how many times smaller one number is compared to another, we need to divide the larger number by the smaller number.
In this case, we need to find out how many times smaller 10^2 is compared to 10^6.
So, the calculation is: 10^6 ÷ 10^2 = 10^4.
Therefore, 10^2 is 10^4 times smaller than 10^6.
The answer is B. 10^4.
To find out how many times less 10^2 is than 10^6, we need to divide 10^6 by 10^2.
10^6 ÷ 10^2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4.
Therefore, the answer is B. 10^4.
To determine how many times less one number is than another, you can divide the larger number by the smaller number. In this case, we want to find out how many times less 10^2 is than 10^6.
So, we divide 10^6 by 10^2:
10^6 / 10^2 = 10^(6-2) = 10^4.
Therefore, 10^2 is 10^4 times less than 10^6.
Expressed as an integer power of 10, the answer is:
B) 10^4.
