Compare hundred thousands:
- 113,880 → 1
- 391,045 → 3
- 720,334 → 7
- 774,713 → 7
Now, between 720,334 and 774,713:
- Both have 7 in hundred thousands
- Compare ten thousands: 2 vs 7 → 720,334 < 774,713
So full order:
- 113,880
- 391,045
- 720,334

📝 Explanation Summary:
To order large numbers:
1. Start by comparing the
leftmost digits (highest place value).
2. If they are equal, move to the next digit to the right.
3. Continue until you find a difference.
4. Use place value understanding: hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, etc.
This method ensures accurate ordering even when numbers are close in value.
