Numbers can be very large. A 7-digit number is the number that has 7 digits. The smallest 7-digit number is 10,00,000 (ten lakh) and the largest is 99,99,999. An 8-digit number is the number that has 8 digits. The smallest 8-digit number is 1,00,00,000 (one crore) and the largest is 9,99,99,999.
The value of a digit depends on its position.
In the Indian Place Value System, we use commas like this: 1,23,45,678. The first comma comes after 3 digits from the right, and then commas are placed after every 2 digits. The order of places is: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, Crores.
Example: In 7,23,45,678
Expanded form: 7,00,00,000 + 20,00,000 + 3,00,000 + 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 70 + 8
In the International Place Value System, commas are placed after every 3 digits from the right. For example: 72,345,678. The order of places is: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions, Ten Millions.
Example: In 72,345,678
Expanded form: 70,000,000 + 2,000,000 + 300,000 + 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 70 + 8
The face value of a digit is the digit itself. The place value of a digit is the digit × its place.
Example: In 6,58,32,719
Examples:
To compare numbers, start from the leftmost digit (highest place).
Example: Compare 6,45,23,178 and 6,54,23,178
Numbers are read differently in Indian and International systems.
