Understanding Multiplicative Comparisons

The video tutorial explains how to determine how many times greater one number is compared to another using multiplication. It starts with simple examples, such as finding a number ten, hundred, and thousand times greater than five. The tutorial then applies this concept to solve specific problems, including determining how many times greater 1800 is than 18, 34 billion is than 34,000, and 61 million is than 610. The video emphasizes comparing the number of zeros in the numbers to find the multiplication factor.

What is the first step in determining how many times greater one number is compared to another?

• Divide the larger number by the smaller number

• Subtract the smaller number from the larger number

• Add the two numbers together

• Multiply the smaller number by a factor
