Question

5 \cdot 10^5 is how many times as large as 1\cdot10^5

Answer 1

To find out how many times \(5 \cdot 10^5\) is larger than \(1 \cdot 10^5\), you can divide the two values:

\[
\frac{5 \cdot 10^5}{1 \cdot 10^5}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
\frac{5}{1} \cdot \frac{10^5}{10^5} = 5 \cdot 1 = 5
\]

Therefore, \(5 \cdot 10^5\) is **5 times** as large as \(1 \cdot 10^5\).
