Three Periods in a 6 Digit Number

A 6 digit number is a number that has 6 digits in it. When we write a 6 digit number, we usually group the digits into three periods. The three periods are separated by commas.

First Period

The first period in a 6 digit number is made up of the first three digits. These digits represent the thousands place, the hundreds place, and the tens place. For example, in the number 123,456, the first period is 123.

Second Period

The second period in a 6 digit number is made up of the fourth, fifth, and sixth digits. These digits represent the ones place, the tens place, and the hundreds place. For example, in the number 123,456, the second period is 456.

Third Period

The third period in a 6 digit number is not always used. It is only used if the number is greater than 999,999. The third period is made up of the seventh, eighth, and ninth digits. These digits represent the thousands place, the ten thousands place, and the hundred thousands place. For example, in the number 1,234,567, the third period is 234.

In summary, a 6 digit number is grouped into three periods. The first period represents the thousands, hundreds, and tens places. The second period represents the ones, tens, and hundreds places. The third period, if used, represents the thousands, ten thousands, and hundred thousands places.
