Face Value of a Number

The face value of a digit in a number is the value of that digit itself. The face value of any digit in a number is independent of its place in the number.

Example:

Consider any three-digit number. Say 731.

For the number 408,

For the number 560,

 

Place Value in Maths

In a number, the place value of a digit depends on its position in the number. Place value allows us to represent any number using the digits 0 to 9.

Example:

Let us discuss place value with some three-digit numbers.

For the number 568.

For the number 904,

For the number 660,

 

Place Value of 0

 

 

Expanded Form

When any number is written as the sum of the place values of its digits, then it is called the expanded form of the number.

Example:

Let us discuss with a number 456. In 456,

Similarly, expanded form of 440 and 103 is

440 = 400 + 40 + 0

103 = 100 + 0 + 3
