Understanding Place Values
Place value is the numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number. In our decimal system, each position in a number represents a power of 10.
- Ones: The rightmost position, representing single units (100 = 1).
- Tens: The position to the left of ones, representing groups of ten (101 = 10).
- Hundreds: The position to the left of tens, representing groups of one hundred (102 = 100).
- Thousands: The position to the left of hundreds, representing groups of one thousand (103 = 1,000).
- Ten Thousands: Represents groups of ten thousand (104 = 10,000).
- Hundred Thousands: Represents groups of hundred thousand (105 = 100,000).
- Millions: Represents groups of one million (106 = 1,000,000).
By understanding place values, we can construct and deconstruct numbers, making it easier to understand their magnitude and perform arithmetic operations. This tool helps visualize how digits in different positions contribute to the value of a whole number.
