Place value

Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position in the number. 
7289 = 7000 + 200 + 80 + 9
7 is at the thousands place, 2 at the hundreds place, 8 at the tens place, and 9 at the ones place 

Place value System

1. Place value of the whole number:      

In 4268, 4 is in the thousands place and its place value is 4,000; 2 is in the hundreds' place, and its place value is 200.
6 is in the ten's place, and its place value is 60.
8 is in the unit's place, and its place value is 8.

2. Place value of a decimal number:
The place value after the decimal point represents the fractional part of the number.               In 17.591, 
17 is the whole number part.
There are three digits to the right of the decimal point.
5 is in the tenth place, and its place value is 0.5 or `5/10`
9 is in the hundredth place, and its place value is 0.09, or `9/100`
1 is in the thousandth place, and its place value is 0.001 or `1/1000`.

Example

Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths  Thousandths
0 0 2 5 7 0

2 × 10 + 5 × 1 + `7/10`

= 25 + `7/10`

= 25 + 0.7

= 25.7

Example

Given the place value table, write the number in decimal form.

Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths  Thousandths
0 1 9 7 6 8 0

1 × 100 + 9 × 10 + 7 × 1 + `6/10 + 8/100`

⇒ 100 + 90 + 7 + `6/10 + 8/100`

⇒ 197 + `(60 + 8)/100`

⇒ 197 + `68/100`

⇒ `197 68/100`

⇒ 197.68

Example

Given the place value table, write the number in decimal form.

Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones Tenths Hundredths  Thousandths
7 3 2 1 0 8 9

7 × 1000 + 3 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 1 × 0 + `8/100 + 1/1000`.

= 7000 + 300 + 20 + 1 + 0 + `8/100 + 1/1000`.

= 7321 + `(80 + 9)/1000`

= 7321 + `89/1000`

= `7321 89/1000`

= 7321.089
