Place value whole numbers

Whole numbers range from 0 to 9, after that combination of these whole numbers creates big and new numbers. Big range of whole numbers generates a new type of property, which is known as place value in whole numbers. Through this blog we are discussing about the whole number place value.
In the general term place value is normally finding the positional value of the number in the given number system. Finding the place value of the numbers can be categorized in many ways, but standard place value system is easiest and shortest technique.
Let’s see via some live math help examples:
Example1: Suppose there is a number 4,324,345,567.
Solution: In above example first we demonstrate how to read and write the whole numbers.
The given number is 4,324,345,567. It can be read as
4 billion, 3 hundred 24 million, 3 hundred 45 thousand, 5 hundred 67
It means that we started from right position, i.e. ones position and further move on. The table below demonstrates that:
      3                    2                         4                   3                     4                   5                     5                      6              7
Hundred million Ten million million Hundred thousands Ten thousand thousands hundreds Tens ones
   3             
Through the above table we show the actual position of the each digit in the given number. Now we are going to discuss about finding the place value of whole numbers.

Example2: find the position of 3 into the given numbers 32,839,564,730.
Solution: In the given number (32,839,564,730), no. 3 is used three times in the question.
So now we specify each place value of the number in a separate block from right to left.
The first no. 3 (in 32,839,564,730) has the place value of tens. The second no. 3 (32,839,564,730) has the place value of ten million. The third no. 3 (32,839,564,730) has the place value of ten billion.
