How many times less is 10^2 that 10^6? Express as an integer power of 10.

Answer 1

To find out how many times smaller $10^2$ is compared to $10^6$, we divide the larger number by the smaller number. Doing this here gives $\frac{10^6}{10^2}=10^{6-2}=10^4$, so $10^2$ is $10^4$ times smaller than $10^6$. Our answer is $\boxed{10^4}$.
