I
Concept Anchor
Big numbers are grouped in threes: millions, thousands, then ones. To compare two numbers, line up the digits and look at the biggest place first.
Worked example
What is the value of each digit in 7,425,016?
- 1.7 millions = 7,000,000.
- 2.4 hundred thousands = 400,000.
- 3.2 ten thousands = 20,000. 5 thousands = 5,000.
- 4.0 hundreds, 1 ten, 6 ones.
