Place Value by Emma Stewart Each digit of a number has a value and a place, the hundred thousands, the ten thousands, the thousands, the hundreds, the tens and the ones. In the number 329,294 the 3 is in the hundred thousands, the 2 is in the ten thousands, the 9 is in the thousands, the 2 is in the hundreds, the 9 is in tens and the 4 is in the ones.

There can also be a millions place in numbers. In the number 3,568,764, the 3 is in the millions, the 5 is in the hundred thousands, the 6 is in the ten thousands, the 8 is in the thousands, the 7 is in the hundreds, the 6 is in the tens and the 4 is in the ones. You can also express numbers to 1,000,000 in expanded form. When a digit in a number is 0, and you are writing in expanded form, you don't write the 0. For example, in the number, 7,893, 240, it would be written like, 7,000,000 + 800,000+ 90,000 + 3,000 + 200 + 40. back to math page
