Two numbers written in scientific notation can be compared.
Remember
1) FIRST COMPARE THE EXPONENTS
The number with the larger power of 10 is greater
than the number with the smaller power of 10.
If the powers of ten are the same
2) THEN COMPARE THE FACTORS
the number with the larger factor is the larger number.
