Understanding Place Value Difference

The question asks for the difference between the place values of two specific digits, '4' and '2', in the number 833749502.

First, let's understand what place value means. The place value of a digit in a number depends on its position in the number. Each position corresponds to a power of 10.

Identifying Place Values in 833749502

Let's look at the place value of each digit in the number 833749502:

Digit Position Place Value
8 Hundred Millions \(8 \times 100,000,000 = 800,000,000\)
3 Ten Millions \(3 \times 10,000,000 = 30,000,000\)
3 Millions \(3 \times 1,000,000 = 3,000,000\)
7 Hundred Thousands \(7 \times 100,000 = 700,000\)
4 Ten Thousands \(4 \times 10,000 = 40,000\)
9 Thousands \(9 \times 1,000 = 9,000\)
5 Hundreds \(5 \times 100 = 500\)
0 Tens \(0 \times 10 = 0\)
2 Units (Ones) \(2 \times 1 = 2\)

From the table, we can see:

  • The digit '4' is in the Ten Thousands place. Its place value is \(40,000\).
  • The digit '2' is in the Units (Ones) place. Its place value is \(2\).

Calculating the Difference

To find the difference between the place values of '4' and '2', we subtract the smaller place value from the larger one:

\text{Difference} = \text{Place value of } '4' - \text{Place value of } '2'

\text{Difference} = 40,000 - 2

Subtracting 2 from 40,000:

\( \begin{array}{@{}c@{\,}c@{}c@{}c@{}c} & 4 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ - & & & & & 2 \\ \hline & 3 & 9 & 9 & 9 & 8 \\ \end{array} \)

The difference between the place values of '4' and '2' in 833749502 is \(39,998\).

Revision Table: Key Concepts

Concept Description
Place Value The value of a digit determined by its position in a number.
Face Value The actual value of the digit itself, regardless of its position.
Difference The result of subtracting one number from another.

Additional Information: Expanded Form

Understanding place value is crucial for writing a number in its expanded form. The expanded form of 833749502 is the sum of the place values of all its digits:

\(800,000,000 + 30,000,000 + 3,000,000 + 700,000 + 40,000 + 9,000 + 500 + 0 + 2\)

This also equals 833749502. This shows how each digit contributes to the total value of the number based on its place.
