-------------------
15^3/15^-3 = 15^6 time AS HEAVY
-------------------------------
----> 15^6 - 1 times heavier, tho the difference between "times heavier" and "times as heavy" is not significant for numbers this large.
=============================
PS If you meant 15*10^3 and 15*10^-3 the solution is different.
