we have
[tex] 2,145,857 [/tex]
we know that
the number in expanded form is equal to
[tex] 2,145,857=2*(1,000,000)+1*(100.000)+4*(10,000)+5*(1,000)+8*(100)+5*(10)+7*(1) [/tex]
So
the digit [tex] 5 [/tex] in the thousands place is equal to
[tex] 5*(1,000)=5,000 [/tex]
and
the digit [tex] 5 [/tex] in the tens place is equal to
[tex] 5*(10)=50 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{5,000}{50} =100 [/tex]
therefore
the answer is
It is [tex] 100 [/tex] times greater
