how many times less than 10^2 than 10^6 express your answer as a integer power of ten

1 answer

To find how many times less \(10^2\) is than \(10^6\), we can divide \(10^6\) by \(10^2\):

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

This means that \(10^2\) is \(10^4\) times less than \(10^6\).

Thus, the answer is:

\[ 10^4 \]
