Answer:
We have the numbers:
2.57×10^4 and 2.57×10^−1
The first thing we can see is that the first number exponent is 4, and the second number's exponent is -1, so the difference between is of 5.
If we calculate the quotient between the numbers we have:
(2.57×10^4)/( 2.57×10^−1) = (2.57/2.57)*(10^4/10^-1) = 1*10^(4 - (-1)) = 10^5
Then the first number is 10^5 times bigger than the second number, then the first number is 100,000 greater than the second one.
