To solve this problem, we need to arrange each set of numbers in descending order — that means from the largest number to the smallest.
Let’s go one by one:
---
Problem 1: 641,922 644,328 641,132 644,501
Step 1: Look at the hundred thousands and ten thousands places first — all start with “64”, so look at the thousands place.
- 644,501 → has 4 in thousands
- 644,328 → also 4 in thousands → compare next digit (hundreds): 5 vs 3 → 501 > 328 → so 644,501 > 644,328
- 641,922 → 1 in thousands
- 641,132 → 1 in thousands → compare hundreds: 9 vs 1 → 922 > 132
So order:
644,501 > 644,328 > 641,922 > 641,132
✔ Final for #1:
644,501, 644,328, 641,922, 641,132

Problem 2: 103,832 103,427 103,591 103,898
All start with 103, so compare last three digits:
- 103,898 → 898
- 103,832 → 832
- 103,591 → 591
- 103,427 → 427
Order: 898 > 832 > 591 > 427
✔ Final for #2:
103,898, 103,832, 103,591, 103,427
---
Problem 3: 330,149 330,094 330,001 330,100
All start with 330, so compare last three digits:
- 330,149 → 149
- 330,100 → 100
- 330,094 → 094
- 330,001 → 001
Order: 149 > 100 > 094 > 001
✔ Final for #3:
330,149, 330,100, 330,094, 330,001
---
Problem 4: 789,243 789,727 789,378 789,262
All start with 789, so compare last three digits:
- 789,727 → 727
- 789,378 → 378
- 789,262 → 262
- 789,243 → 243
Order: 727 > 378 > 262 > 243
✔ Final for #4:
789,727, 789,378, 789,262, 789,243
---
Problem 5: 246,263 246,156 246,588 244,111
First, notice two start with 246, one starts with 244.
Compare 246-group first:
- 246,588 → 588
- 246,263 → 263
- 246,156 → 156
Then 244,111 is smaller than all 246s.
So overall:
246,588 > 246,263 > 246,156 > 244,111
✔ Final for #5:
246,588, 246,263, 246,156, 244,111

Final Answer:
1. 644,501, 644,328, 641,922, 641,132
2. 103,898, 103,832, 103,591, 103,427
3. 330,149, 330,100, 330,094, 330,001
4. 789,727, 789,378, 789,262, 789,243
5. 246,588, 246,263, 246,156, 244,111
