What is place value?
- Any number formed from some digits, each digit has a place value.
- For example : 1,234 this number formed from 4 digits
The place value of 4 is ones ⇒ 5
The place value of 3 is tens ⇒ 40
The place value of 2 is hundreds ⇒ 300
The place value of 1 is thousands ⇒ 2,000
1,234= 1,000 + 200 + 30 + 4
Now the given number is 9,999,999
Now the place value of each digit is given as,
∵ The number formed from 7 digits
- The place value of the leftmost digit is millions
- The place value of the digit before the million is hundred thousands
- The place value of the digit before the hundred thousands is
ten thousands
- The place value of the digit before the ten thousands is thousands
- The place value of the digit before thousands is hundreds
- The place value of the digit before hundreds is tens
- The place value of the digit before tens is ones
∴ 9,999,999 = 9,000,000 + 900,000 + 90,000 + 9,000 + 900
+ 90 + 9
∴ Each digit from the leftmost digit is ten times the digit before it
