Order the numbers from least to greatest.
\(7 \times 10^4\); \(700\); \(7 \times 10^6\); \(70{,}000{,}000\); \(7 \times 10^3\)
Hints
- Rewrite all values in the same form.
- Compare the number of digits or the exponents of \(10\).
- With the same positive coefficient, a greater exponent gives a greater value.
Solution
1. Write each number in standard form: \(700\), \(7000\), \(70{,}000\), \(7{,}000{,}000\), and \(70{,}000{,}000\).
2. Compare the place values: \(700 < 7000 < 70{,}000 < 7{,}000{,}000 < 70{,}000{,}000\).
Answer
\(700 < 7 \times 10^3 < 7 \times 10^4 < 7 \times 10^6 < 70{,}000{,}000\)
