To compare \( 4.6 \times 10^6 \) and \( 4.9 \times 10^6 \), we can focus on the coefficients since they both have the same power of ten.
- For \( 4.6 \times 10^6 \), the coefficient is \( 4.6 \).
- For \( 4.9 \times 10^6 \), the coefficient is \( 4.9 \).
Since \( 4.9 \) is greater than \( 4.6 \), it follows that:
\( 4.9 \times 10^6 \) is greater than \( 4.6 \times 10^6 \).
Therefore, the greater number is:
**4.9 × 10 superscript 6**.
- For \( 4.6 \times 10^6 \), the coefficient is \( 4.6 \).
- For \( 4.9 \times 10^6 \), the coefficient is \( 4.9 \).
Since \( 4.9 \) is greater than \( 4.6 \), it follows that:
\( 4.9 \times 10^6 \) is greater than \( 4.6 \times 10^6 \).
Therefore, the greater number is:
**4.9 × 10 superscript 6**.
