What is the International Place Value Chart?

The International Place Value Chart is used to organize numbers into periods such as Ones, Thousands, Millions, and Billions. It shows the value of each digit based on its position in a number.

Place value refers to the value of a digit based on its position in the number. This also helps to write numbers in their expanded form.

For example, in the number 5,788,374:

• The 5 is in the millions place, so it means 5,000,000.

• The 7 is in the hundred thousands place, so it means 700,000.

• The 8 is in the ten thousands place, so it means 80,000.

• The 8 is in the thousands place, so it means 8,000.

• The 3 is in the hundreds place, so it means 300.

• The 7 is in the tens place, so it means 70.

• The 4 is in the ones place, so it means 4.
