Understanding Place Value
In mathematics, place value is the numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number. In our base-ten system, each position in a number represents a power of 10. For example, in the number 123.45, the digit '2' is in the 'tens' place, and its place value is 20 (2 × 10¹).
Examples:
- In 456, the place value of 5 is 50 (5 × 10¹).
- In 1.23, the place value of 3 is 0.03 (3 × 10⁻²).
