Math place value comparing whole numbers

Place value is the value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in the number 345, the digit 3 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 300.

4,000 + 300 + 5

90,000 + 600 + 80 + 3

6

5,000 + 600 + 90 + 8

three hundred sixty-two thousand, four hundred eighty-five

8,000 (because it is in the thousands place)

The digit in the tens place is 4 and in the hundreds place is 2. The difference is 4 - 2 = 2.

5,678 is less than 5,689 because when comparing from left to right, the first different digit is 6 in 5,689 and 7 in 5,678.

3,000 (because it is in the thousands place)
