    You have to round it down:

    4.55 * 1013

    4.55 * 1000

    and

    1.78*1012

    1.78*1000

    then take them away

    so:

    4.55*1000 = 4550

    1.78*1000 = 1780 -

    = 2770

    = 2.77*10^3

    Answer: The antarctic iceberg's mass is approximately 2.77*10³ times bigger than the mass of the rock of Gibraltar.
