To determine how many times greater \( 9.75 \times 10^6 \) is than \( 1.25 \times 10^2 \), you can divide the first number by the second number:

\[ \frac{9.75 \times 10^6}{1.25 \times 10^2} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ \frac{9.75}{1.25} \times \frac{10^6}{10^2} \]

Calculating \( \frac{9.75}{1.25} \):

\[ = 7.8 \]

Calculating \( \frac{10^6}{10^2} \):

\[ = 10^{6-2} = 10^4 \]

Now combine the two results:

\[ 7.8 \times 10^4 \]

Now express \( 7.8 \times 10^4 \) in standard form:

\[ = 78,000 \]

Therefore, \( 9.75 \times 10^6 \) is 78,000 times greater than \( 1.25 \times 10^2 \).

The correct response is:

78,000
