Step 1 :The given polynomial is \(4 x^{6}-w^{6}+0.7 w^{3}-10.1\).
Step 2 :The polynomial is already in standard form.
Step 3 :The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable. In this case, the highest power is 6, so the degree of the polynomial is \(\boxed{6}\).
Step 4 :The leading coefficient of a polynomial is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. In this case, the leading coefficient is \(\boxed{4}\).
