Understanding the Concept: Place Value
Each digit in a number has a
place value based on its position. From right to left, the places are:
-
Ones
-
Tens
-
Hundreds
-
Thousands
For example, in the number
7,462:
- 7 is in the
thousands place → 7 × 1,000 =
7,000
- 4 is in the
hundreds place → 4 × 100 =
400
- 6 is in the
tens place → 6 × 10 =
60
- 2 is in the
ones place → 2 × 1 =
2
