How to Compare the Number in Scientific Notation?
- Compare the exponents (the powers of `10`) of the two numbers. If one exponent is larger, the number with that exponent is larger.
- If the exponents are the same, proceed to the next step.
- Compare the coefficients (the numbers before the "`x10`") of the two numbers. If one coefficient is larger, the number with that coefficient is larger.
- If the coefficients are the same, the numbers are equal.
