To find a number is how many times greater than another number divide the two numbers
Let us divide 1.40 * 10^6 by 1.43 * 10^5
[tex]\frac{1.40\times10^6}{1.43\times10^5}=\frac{1.40}{1.43}\times10^{6-5}[/tex]We will start by subtraction the powers of 10 as the rule dividing same bases subtracting their powers
[tex]\frac{1.40}{1.43}\times10=\frac{140}{143}\times10[/tex]Because the number of decimals up equal the number of decimals down we can cancel them together
[tex]\frac{140}{143}\times10=\frac{1400}{143}[/tex]Now let us find the answer of division
[tex]\frac{1400}{143}=9.79020979[/tex]That means the diameter of the sun is 9.79 times the diameter of the jupiter
