To find out how much greater the population of Missouri is than the population of Wyoming, we can subtract the population of Wyoming from the population of Missouri.
Population of Missouri = 6.14 * 10^6
Population of Wyoming = 5.79 * 10^5
6.14 * 10^6 - 5.79 * 10^5 = 6.14 * 10^6 - 0.579 * 10^6 = 5.561 * 10^6
Therefore, the population of Missouri is 5.561 * 10^6 greater than the population of Wyoming. This can also be written in standard notation as 5,561,000.
