Answer 1

To compare the two numbers, we can convert them into scientific notation.

1. For 34,835,760: \[ 34,835,760 = 3.4835760 \times 10^7 \]

2. For 43,835,760: \[ 43,835,760 = 4.3835760 \times 10^7 \]

Now we can compare the two numbers in scientific notation. Both numbers have the same exponent \(10^7\), so we only need to compare the coefficients:

• \(3.4835760\) and \(4.3835760\)

Since \(4.3835760 > 3.4835760\), we conclude that:

\[ 43,835,760 > 34,835,760 \]

In scientific notation, we express this as:

\[ 4.3835760 \times 10^7 \]

Thus, the greater number is \( \boxed{4.3835760 \times 10^7} \).
