To subtract the numbers \( 4.66 \times 10^{-5} \) and \( 7.34 \times 10^{-7} \), we first need to express them with the same exponent.
We can convert \( 7.34 \times 10^{-7} \) to an equivalent number with an exponent of \( 10^{-5} \):
\[ 7.34 \times 10^{-7} = 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} \]
Now the subtraction looks like this:
\[ 4.66 \times 10^{-5} - 0.0734 \times 10^{-5} \]
Performing the subtraction:
\[ 4.66 - 0.0734 = 4.5866 \]
This gives us:
\[ 4.5866 \times 10^{-5} \]
Therefore, the answer is:
4.5866 × 10^−5
