Description

Place Value represents the value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in 542, the digit 5 represents 500 (hundreds), the digit 4 represents 40 (tens), and the digit 2 represents 2 (ones). Understanding place value is essential for understanding how numbers work in operations. This underpins all operations in multiplication and division by emphasizing how the position of digits determines their value.
