So, the diameter of mars is 4x103. 4x103 is 412. The diameter of Jupiter is 9x104. 9x104 is 936. 936-412=524 @kerfuffle  I hope I have solved your problem

I'm sorry. But I forgot to mention that there are powers. 4x10^3 and 9x10^4

4x10^3=4,000 is 90,000. 90,000 - 4,000 is 86,000. That is your answer
