the mass of Uranus is about 8.700x*10^22 metric tons. The mass of the sun is about 1.998*10^27 metric tons. About how many times is the mass of Uranus is the mass of the sun?
-----------------
1.998E27/8.7E22 = (1.998/8.7)E5 times
=~ 0.23E5
= 2.3E4 times
= 23000 times the mass

PS Use * for multiply, not x
x will be used for other things.
