The first step for solving this question is put both of your given expressions into one and then subtract them. This will look like the following: 8 × [tex]10^{6} [/tex] - 2 × 10²] Now to make the calculation easier,, factor the expression. (8 × [tex] 10^{4} [/tex] - 2) × 10² Evaluate the power inside the parenthesis. (8 × 10000 - 2) × 10² Evaluate the power outside the parenthesis. (8 × 10000 - 2) × 100 Multiply the numbers inside the parenthesis. (80000 - 2) × 100 Subtract the numbers in the parenthesis. 79998 × 100 Lastly,, multiply the numbers together to get your final answer. 7999800 This means that 8 × [tex]10^{6} [/tex] is 7999800 times larger than 2 × 10².
