(10^8-10^2)/(10^7-10^3) take out 10^2 and 10^3 common from the num and den [10^2(10^6-1)]/[10^3(10^4-1)] Simplify the fraction by dividing 10^2/10^3 you get (10^6-1)/[10(10^4-1)] Now 10^6-1 is approx = 10^6 and 10^4-1 is approx = 10^4 So we get (10^6)/[10(10^4)] =(10^6)/(10^5) =10 Thanks for the ex...
