Place Value – Definition

In a number, every digit has a place value. Place value is defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position. In a number, the position of a digit starts from one’s place. The order of place value of digits in a number from right to left are units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand’s, Lakhs, and so on. A number is formed by grouping the digits together.

Example of Place Value:

In 8456,8 is in the thousands place and its place value is 8000.

4 is in the hundreds place and its place value is 400.

5 is in the tens place and its place value is 50.

6 is in one place and its place value is 6.

Place values of digits help us write numbers in expanded form. For example, expanded form of a number above

8456 is 8000+400+50+6.

Properties of Place Value

  • The place value or face value of a one-digit number is the same. The place value and the face value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
  • The place value of zero is always zero. Zero may be placed at any place value in the number, the value is always zero. For Example:  In the numbers 10, 108, 250, 3067 the place value of zero is zero.
  • In a two-digit number, the place value of a ten-place digit is equal to ten times the digit. Example: The place value of 5 in 53 is 5*10=50

Place Value of a Number Examples

1. The place value of 3 in 235 is 3*10=30

2. In the number 523,  digit 3 is at one place, digit 2 is at tens place, and digit 5 is at hundreds of places.

So the place value of 3 is 3, 2 is 2*10=20, 5 is 5*100=500.

Place Value of the Digit =(Face Value of the Digit)*(Value of the Place)

Thus for the place value of the digit, the digit is multiplied by the face value and value of that place.
