Understanding Place Value and Face Value

To solve this problem, we need to understand the concepts of place value and face value of a digit within a number.

  • Face Value: The face value of a digit in a number is the digit itself. It is the value of the digit regardless of its position in the number.
  • Place Value: The place value of a digit in a number is the value of the digit based on its position in the number. It is calculated by multiplying the face value of the digit by the value of the place (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc.) it occupies.

Finding the Place Value of 5 in 26549

The given number is 26549. We need to find the place value and face value of the digit 5.

Let's look at the position of each digit in the number 26549:

Digit Place Value of Place
9 Ones $\text{10}^0 = 1$
4 Tens $\text{10}^1 = 10$
5 Hundreds $\text{10}^2 = 100$
6 Thousands $\text{10}^3 = 1000$
2 Ten Thousands $\text{10}^4 = 10000$

The digit 5 is in the Hundreds place.

The place value of 5 is calculated as:

Place Value = Face Value $\times$ Value of the place

Place Value of 5 = $5 \times 100 = 500$

The face value of a digit is the digit itself.

The face value of the digit 5 in the number 26549 is simply 5.
