or do you mean really big numbers in scientific notation
7.2 x 107 - 5.4 x 106
then you must either change to normal notation ( no exponent) or adjust the exponents to be the same.
4.4 x 106 = 0.44 x 107
now the problem becomes
7.2 x 107
- 0.44 x 107 ---- line up decimals and subtract as normal and bring down the exp.
= 6.76 x 107
