Look at this table, which shows the place value of numbers up to millions.

 

You should know the value of each column and understand how each number is written.

 

                                                          

      6         0         9        2          0         4         7

      1         2         3        4          5         6         7

                                      6          0         2         5

 

The numbers above are:

Six million, ninety-two thousand and forty-seven

One million, two hundred and thirty-four thousand, five hundred and sixty-seven

Six thousand and twenty-five

 

If we moved any of the digits into a different column, the number would become completely different.

 

In the number 1,234,567

 

The 7 represents seven ones or 7

The 6 represents sixty or 60

The 5 represents five hundred or 500

The 4 represents four thousand or 4,000

The 3 represents thirty thousand or 30,000

The 2 represents two hundred thousand or 200,000

The 1 represents one million or 1,000,000

 

Large numbers are difficult to read, so we put either commas or spaces in the number to separate every third digit.

 

For example:

 1, 234, 567

or

1 234 567

 

Let's get started with the questions now.
