Understand Place Value in Large Numbers

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.

Let's have a go at some questions now.
