In 2010, the number of participants in a checkers tournament was 2.6 × 104 people. In 2013, the number of participants in a checkers tournament was 5.2 × 106 people. By what factor did the number of participants increase from 2010 to 2013?

Respuesta :

[tex]\dfrac{5.2\cdot 10^6}{2.6\cdot 10^4}=\dfrac{5.2}{2.6}\cdot 10^{(6-4)}\\\\=2\cdot 100=200[/tex]

The number of participants increased by a factor of 200 from 2010 to 2013.
