To determine which number is closer to one million, we can compare their magnitudes. The magnitude of 1.2 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 5 is 1.2 million, which is 200,000 short of one million. On the other hand, the magnitude of 1.3 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 6 is 1.3 million, which is only 100,000 short of one million. Therefore, 1.3 10 raised to the power of six is closer to one million.

Which number is closer to 2?

Every number is closer to 2 than a number that is further away. For example, 5 million is closer to 2 than 10 million is. And 10 million is closer than 25 trillion is. But even that is closer to 2 than 26 trillion is.Conversely, no number can be the closest to 2. If x is close to 2 (but not equal to 2), then it is easy to prove that the average of x and 2 = (x + 2)/2 is closer to 2 than x was. And then, the average of that new number and 2 is closer still. And so on - forever.
