How much larger is 6 times 10 to the 5th power compared to 2 times 10 to the 3rd power

Either 10 times or 598,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 x 10 ^ 5 = 600,000

2 x 10 ^ 3 = 2,000

If we are figuring out the exact number, 600,000 - 2,000. If we are finding out how many powers larger, count.

600,000 - 2,000 = 598,000

600,000 is 10 times larger than 2,000.
