Finding the Place Value Difference

The question asks us to find the difference between the place values of two specific digits, 9 and 5, within the number 428693745. To do this, we first need to understand what place value means for each digit.

Understanding Place Value

Place value is the value of a digit based on its position in a number. In the number system, each position represents a power of 10. Starting from the rightmost digit, the places are units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, and so on.

Place Value (Power of 10)
Units (Ones) \(10^0 = 1\)
Tens \(10^1 = 10\)
Hundreds \(10^2 = 100\)
Thousands \(10^3 = 1000\)
Ten Thousands \(10^4 = 10000\)
Hundred Thousands \(10^5 = 100000\)
Millions \(10^6 = 1000000\)

Identifying Place Values in 428693745

Let's look at the number 428693745:

We can break down the number by its places:

  • 4 is in the hundred millions place
  • 2 is in the ten millions place
  • 8 is in the millions place
  • 6 is in the hundred thousands place
  • 9 is in the ten thousands place
  • 3 is in the thousands place
  • 7 is in the hundreds place
  • 4 is in the tens place
  • 5 is in the units place

Calculating the Place Value of 9

The digit 9 is in the ten thousands place.

Place Value of 9 = Digit × Value of the place

Place Value of 9 = \(9 \times 10000 = 90000\)

Calculating the Place Value of 5

The digit 5 is in the units (ones) place.

Place Value of 5 = Digit × Value of the place

Place Value of 5 = \(5 \times 1 = 5\)

Calculating the Difference

The difference between the place values of 9 and 5 is found by subtracting the smaller place value from the larger one.

Difference = Place Value of 9 - Place Value of 5

Difference = \(90000 - 5\)

Difference = \(89995\)

Therefore, the difference between the place values of 9 and 5 in the number 428693745 is 89995.

Additional Information: Extended Place Value Understanding

Place value is a fundamental concept in the decimal number system. It's how we represent any number, no matter how large or small. Understanding place value helps in performing arithmetic operations, comparing numbers, and working with decimals.

Every place to the left of another has a value ten times greater than the place to its right. For example:

  • Tens place (10) is \(10 \times\) Units place (1)
  • Hundreds place (100) is \(10 \times\) Tens place (10)
  • Thousands place (1000) is \(10 \times\) Hundreds place (100)

This pattern continues infinitely to the left for whole numbers and extends to the right for decimal numbers (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.).
