Place Value Chart
What is place value? When we talk about place value, we should consider few important points:
- Digit
- Number
- Place of a digit in a given number, and finally,
- Value of the place in a number.
Individual digits construct a number. For example, in number 47845, there are five individual digits, and these are – 4, 7, 8, 4, 5.
Every individual digit in the number 47845 has its place, and every place in a number holds a value.
The value of digit 4 at Ten Thousands place = 40000
The value of digit 7 at Thousands place = 7000
The value of digit 8 at Hundreds place = 800
The value of digit 4 at Ten place = 40
The value of digit 5 at Ten place = 5
Let’s try to understand the place value of a digit in a number with the help of a place value chart.
You can notice that as we move left, the place value of a digit increases by ten times, and as we move right, the place value of a digit decreases by ten times.

Now take one more example of number 784,598.
To find the place value of digits in number 784,598, the first step will be to draw the below table.
Once you draw the table, it will be easier for you to find the place value of each digit. If you are facing a problem, please refer to the concept explained above.
Based on the place value concept, we can also write the number in its expanded form by specifying the actual value of each digit.
Number expanded form of 784598 can be as below
7=700000
8= 80000
4= 4000
5= 500
9= 90
