Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number based on its position in the number. Every digit in a number has a place value.

The place value of ones digit is the same unit digit number. The place value of tens digit is the tens digit number times

$10$ . The place value of hundreds digit is the hundreds digit number times

$100$ , and so on.

Example:

We have a number

$423$ .

This can be written in place order as follows:

Hundreds (H)	Tens (T)	Ones (O)
$100$	$10$	$1$
$4$	$2$	$3$

Place value of

$4 = 4 × 100 = 400$

Place value of

$2 = 2 × 10 = 20$

Place value of

$3 = 3 × 1 = 3$

Use the following tables to find the place value of the larger number:

Periods on Thousands:

Place value	Ten Thousands	Thousands
Number	$10000$	$1000$
Number of zeros	$4$	$3$

Periods on Lakhs:

Place value	Ten Lakhs	Lakhs
Number	$1000000$	$100000$
Number of zeros	$6$	$5$

Periods on Crores:
