4 to the power of 2 is 42 = 16
4 to the power of negative 2 is 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16
As far as "how much greater" - that depends on what you mean
If you mean what is the size of the difference...
16 - 1/16 = 15 15/16 = 15.9375 so 4² is 15.9375 greater than 1/4²
If you mean the ratio...
42/4-2 = 44 = 256 so 42 is 256 times the size of 4-2 or 255 times bigger
(i.e. 42 = 4-2 + 255·4-2)
