To subtract the numbers \(4.66 \times 10^{-5}\) and \(7.34 \times 10^{-7}\), we need to express them with the same exponent.
First, convert \(4.66 \times 10^{-5}\) to have the same exponent as \(7.34 \times 10^{-7}\):
\[ 4.66 \times 10^{-5} = 4.66 \times 10^{-5} \times \frac{100}{100} = 4.66 \times 10^{-5} \times \frac{10^2}{10^2} = 4.66 \times 10^{-5} \times 10^{-2} = 4.66 \times 10^{-7} \times 100 \]
\[ = 4.66 \times 100 \times 10^{-7} = 466 \times 10^{-7} \]
Now, we can rewrite the subtraction:
\[ 466 \times 10^{-7} - 7.34 \times 10^{-7} = (466 - 7.34) \times 10^{-7} \]
Now, calculate \(466 - 7.34\):
\[ 466 - 7.34 = 458.66 \]
Now, we can write the result:
\[ 458.66 \times 10^{-7} \]
To convert it back to standard scientific notation:
\[ = 4.5866 \times 10^{-5} \]
Thus, the final answer is:
\[ \boxed{4.5866 \times 10^{-5}} \]
