Hint: In order to find the solution of the given question that is to find how to simplify \[{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{100} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{1000} \right)\], apply the following identities that are \[\dfrac{1}{{{a}^{n}}}={{a}^{-n}}\], \[{{\log }_{a}}{{x}^{n}}=n{{\log }_{a}}x\] and \[{{\log }_{a}}a=1\]. Reduce it further to the simplified answer.

Complete step by step solution:
According to the question, given expression in the question is as follows:
\[{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{100} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{1000} \right)\]
Let us consider
\[P={{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{100} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{1000} \right)\]
We know that \[100={{10}^{2}}\] and \[1000={{10}^{3}}\], we can rewrite the above equation as follows:
\[\Rightarrow P={{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{{{10}^{2}}} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{{{10}^{3}}} \right)\]
Now apply the identity \[\dfrac{1}{{{a}^{n}}}={{a}^{-n}}\] on \[\dfrac{1}{{{10}^{2}}}\] and \[\dfrac{1}{{{10}^{3}}}\], we get:
\[\Rightarrow P={{\log }_{10}}\left( {{10}^{-2}} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( {{10}^{-3}} \right)...\left( 1 \right)\]
After this to further simplify the above equation apply one of the identities of logarithm that is \[{{\log }_{a}}{{x}^{n}}=n{{\log }_{a}}x\] on \[{{\log }_{10}}\left( {{10}^{-2}} \right)\] and \[{{\log }_{10}}\left( {{10}^{-3}} \right)\] that is we can write:
\[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{10}}\left( {{10}^{-2}} \right)=\left( -2 \right){{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)...\left( 2 \right)\]
\[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{10}}\left( {{10}^{-3}} \right)=\left( -3 \right){{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)...\left( 3 \right)\]
Now put the equation \[\left( 2 \right)\] and \[\left( 3 \right)\] in the equation \[\left( 1 \right)\], we get:
\[\Rightarrow P=\left( -2 \right){{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)-\left( -3 \right){{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)\]
To simplify it further, solve the bracket by using one of the concepts of the number system that is two ‘minuses’ makes plus in the above equation, we get:
\[\Rightarrow P=-2{{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)+3{{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)\]
Now apply another identity of logarithm that is \[{{\log }_{a}}a=1\] on \[{{\log }_{10}}\left( 10 \right)\] in the above equation, we get:
\[\Rightarrow P=-2\left( 1 \right)+3\left( 1 \right)\]
Solve the above equation by removing brackets with the help of multiplication, we get:
\[\Rightarrow P=-2+3\]
To get the final answer, solve the above equation with help of subtraction, we get:
\[\Rightarrow P=1\]
\[\Rightarrow {{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{100} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{1000} \right)=1\]

Therefore, after the simplification of the given equation \[{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{100} \right)-{{\log }_{10}}\left( \dfrac{1}{1000} \right)\] we get \[1\] as the answer.
