How many times as great is the underlined 4 as the 4 that is notunderlined?

Answer 1

It is 10 to the power of the_number_of_digits_between_the_4s_(excluding_the_4s_themselves)_plus_one; if the underlined 4 is to the right of the non-underlined 4, then make this count negative.

eg, if the number is 1234564, then there are 2 digits between them (the 5 and 6), so the power is 2 + 1 = 3; then:

• If the first 4 is underlined it is 103 = 1000 times greater than the non-underlined 4
• If the second 4 is underlined it is 10-3 = 0.001 (= 1/1000) times greater than the non-underlined 4
