To determine how many times greater \( 6 \times 10^4 \) is compared to \( 6 \times 10^2 \), you can divide the two numbers:
\[
\frac{6 \times 10^4}{6 \times 10^2}
\]
The \( 6 \) in the numerator and denominator cancels out:
\[
\frac{10^4}{10^2} = 10^{4-2} = 10^2
\]
Now, \( 10^2 = 100 \).
So, \( 6 \times 10^4 \) is 100 times greater than \( 6 \times 10^2 \).
The correct response is:
**100**
