Determine by what factor the numbers differ. In other words, determine how many times larger the first number is thanthe second.
-One million, one millionth 
A) $10 ^ { 6 } - 10 ^ { - 6 }$
B) $10 ^ { 12 }$
C) $10 ^ { - 1 }$
D) $10 ^ { 11 }$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first number is one million, or $10^6$, and the second number is one millionth, or $10^{-6}$. To find how many times larger the first number is than the second, you divide the first by the second: $10^6 / 10^{-6} = 10^{6 - (-6)} = 10^{12}$.
