To subtract these numbers, we need to express them in the same scientific notation format:
4.66 x 10^(-5) - 7.34 x 10^7
To express both numbers with the same exponent, let's convert 4.66 x 10^(-5) to a number with an exponent of 7:
4.66 x 10^(-5) = 0.0000466 x 10^7
Now we can subtract the two numbers:
0.0000466 x 10^7 - 7.34 x 10^7 = (0.0000466 - 7.34) x 10^7
Simplify the subtraction:
- 7.3399534 x 10^7
The result is approximately - 7.34 x 10^7.
subtract 4.66 x 10-5 - 7.34 x 107
