Topic Detailed Information
Place value tells the value of a digit based on its position in a number. In 34,582, the digit 5 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 500.
CBSE Class 5 students should read numbers using periods such as ones, thousands, lakhs, and crores in the Indian system. They should also compare place value with face value: face value of 5 is 5, but place value can be 5, 50, 500, or more depending on position.
Use a place value chart before writing expanded form. This avoids common mistakes while reading large numbers, comparing numbers, and arranging them in ascending or descending order.
