Number place value

This blog is a detailed explanation of “Number place value” in Base 10 system. Our mathematics is based on Number place values of any number. In mathematics number system is called Base 10 system because we use 10 symbols to represent Base 10 system that are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. These digits are called “Digits“. And we can make different numbers from 0 to one million, one billion and up to infinity with the help of the combination of these 10 digits

The number place value is the place which is given to every digit in that particular number. In number place the values are Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands and more. Ones means single items, Tens means group of 10s, Hundreds means groups of 100s, Thousands means groups of 1000s and so on. As you go from right to left the value of place value is increased. Every left place value is 10 times bigger than its right place value, for example Tens place is 10 times bigger than Ones place and Hundreds place is 10 times bigger than Tens place.

In below image there is a number system(Base 10) structure which shows that every left side place value is 10 times bigger than its right side value.

Here are some examples of number place value:

1. 368 – here 8 is in Ones place, 6 is in Tens place and 3 is in Hundreds place and the expanded form of 368 is — 300 + 60 + 8.
2. 82 – here 2 is in Ones place and 8 is in Tens place and the expanded form of 82 is — 80 + 2.
3. 4853 – here 3 is in Ones place, 5 is in Tens place, 8 is in Hundreds place and 4 is in Thousands place and the expanded form of 4853 is — 4000 + 800 + 50 + 3.

In above examples if you see there is digit 8 in every example but every time digit 8 is in different number place and according to number place the value of 8 is changing in every example.
