Answer 1

Write each in scientific notation:
- 12,740,876,635 = 1.2740876635 × 10^10
- 1,345,763,334 = 1.345763334 × 10^9
- 12,920,370,000 = 1.292037 × 10^10

Compare: the two 10^10 numbers are larger than the 10^9 number, and 1.292037 × 10^10 > 1.2740876635 × 10^10. So the greatest value is 12,920,370,000 (1.292037 × 10^10).
