To subtract these two numbers, we subtract their respective powers of 10 and then subtract their coefficients:
7.7790892759 x 10^8 - 1.077104669 x 10^8
Coefficient subtraction: 7.7790892759 - 1.077104669 = 6.7019846069
Power of 10 subtraction: 10^8 - 10^8 = 0
Therefore, the result of the subtraction is:
6.7019846069 x 10^0
Simplifying further:
6.7019846069 x 1
The final answer is:
6.7019846069
7.7790892759 x 10^8 - 1.077104669 x 10^8
