To calculate \( 6.25 \times 10^6 - 4.73 \times 10^6 \), we start by factoring out \( 10^6 \):

\[ 6.25 \times 10^6 - 4.73 \times 10^6 = (6.25 - 4.73) \times 10^6 \]

Next, we perform the subtraction:

\[ 6.25 - 4.73 = 1.52 \]

Now we can express the result in scientific notation:

\[ 1.52 \times 10^6 \]

Thus, to two decimal places, the answer is:

\[ \boxed{1.52 \times 10^6} \]
