What number do you get if you multiply 2 by 10 and then multiply it by 10 again?
What number do you get if you multiply 2 by 10 three times (that is, multiply 2 by `10^3`) ?

The order of magnitude is how many times a number must by multiplied by ten to get another number. For example, 20000 is 4 orders of magnitude larger than 2, since 2 must be multiplied by 104 to get 20000.
Another way to look at it is that `20000/2` is 104.
How many orders of magnitude larger is 700000 than 7?
