A number can have many digits and each digit has a special place and value. Starting from the right the first digit will be at ones place, the second digit at tens place and the third digit at hundreds place.
See the fact file below for more information on the ones, tens, hundreds or alternatively, you can download our 28-page Ones, Tens, Hundreds worksheet pack to utilise within the classroom or home environment. This worksheet is broken down by Beginner, intermediate and advanced meaning you can choose the complexity level for your student.
Key Facts & Information
Summary:
- A number can have many digits and each digit has a special place and value.
- Starting from the right the first digit will be at ones place, the second digit at tens place and the third digit at hundreds place.
- Example: 123
3 is at ones place with value 3
2 is at tens place with value 20
1 is at hundreds place with value 100
What is place value of a number?
- Once we start learning about the the number system it is very important to understand the concept of place value. A number can have a single digit, two digits, three digits and so on. Each digit of a number has a special place and value in the number system.
How do we determine the place value of a number ?
- As mentioned before, we know that each digit of a number has as special place and value. To elaborate this we start with giving a simple example of a two digit number:
- We see that this number has two digits. We will start from the right side. The first number is “6”. This at ones place, therefore its value is 6. The second number from right is “2”. This is at tens place so its value will be 20. So we can say that 26 is made up of 20 and 6 instead of saying that it is made up of 2 and 6. We can also say that is is made up of 2 tens and 6 ones. This is shown in the diagram below.
- Now if we have a larger number that has three digits then we will start from right and assign each place a value. We will also elaborate this with an example of a three digit number. Suppose we have the following number:
- We will again start from right. The first digit “3”is at ones place and has the value 3. The second digit “2” is at tens places and has the value 20. The third digit “1” is at hundreds place and has the value 100. So we can say that the number is made up of 100, 20 and 3 instead of saying that it is made up of 1, 2 and 3. We can also that it is made up of 3 ones, 2 tens and 1 hundreds as shown in the diagram below:
Example #1:
- We will give a few examples here related to two digit numbers. Suppose we have the following numbers, determine their place value:
- We will start with the first number 29. It has two digits. In this example 9 is at ones place and its value is 9. 2 is at tens place and its value is 20. Hence by combining 20 and 9, we get the number 29.
- The second number 44 also has two digits. Starting from right, 4 is at ones place and its value is 4. The next 4 is at tens place and its value is 40. So by combining 40 and 4 we get 44.
- The third number is 17. First digit from the left is at ones place and its value is 7. The second digit is at tens place and its value is 10. By combining 10 and 7 we get 17.
- In the last example we have the number 89. This two digit number has 9 at ones place and its value is 9. It has 8 at tens place and its value is 80. By combining 80 and 9 we get 89.
Example #2:
- Now let us find the place value of the following 3 digit numbers:
- The first number has 4 at ones place and its value is 4. It has 2 at tens place and its value is 20. It has 1 at hundreds place and its value is 100.
- In other words we can say that by combining 100, 20 and 4 we get 124.
- The second number in the example has 0 at ones place and its value is 0. It has 4 at tens places and its value is 40. It has 2 at hundreds place and its value is 200. By combining 200 and 40 we get 240.
- The third number in the example has 9 at ones place and its value is 9. It has 0 at tens places and its value is 0. It has 6 at hundreds place and its value is 600. Therefore by combining 600 and 9 we get 609.
- So we conclude by saying that to understand the meaning of a number it is very important to understand the concept of place value. When we know about place value we can use numbers more effectively.
