![((2000^(3000) )/(3000^(2000) ))=2000^(1000) ×((2000^(2000) )/(3000^(2000) )) =2000^(1000) ×((2/3))^(2000) =2000^(1000) ×[((2/3))^2 ]^(1000) =2000^(1000) ×[(4/9)]^(1000) =[2000×(4/9)]^(1000) ≈1000^(1000) =10^(3000) =100000...00_(3000 zeros) ⇒2000^(3000) is much much bigger than 3000^(2000) .](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q26190.png)
