Place value & Face value of number

The place value of a digit in any number is the value it holds to be at that position in the number.

In any number every digit has place & face value. We will learn it in detail.

 

Digit:

The symbols or numerals in writing any number are called digits. We can use 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 & 9 symbols to form any number.

We can use these digits to make 2, 4 or multi digits number.

 

Face value:

The face value of a digit for any place in each number is the value of the digit itself. This value does not change wherever it placed in the number.

E.g. 45 – Here face value of 4 is 4 & in 5467 also face value is remain 4.

But this is not true for place value, it is depending upon the position of the digit in given number.

 

Place value:

We can say place value is the value represented by a digit in a number based on its position in the number.

Here is a chart that explain how this value is depend upon the position of the digit in a number.
