The value that a digit adds to the number it is in is called the place value. In other words, starting from the right side to the left side, each digit gains a certain value.

In the example below you can see the analysis of the place value of a 4-digit number. 

EXAMPLE

Let’s find the place values of the digits in the number 7654.

7654 = 7000+600 + 50 + 4

Using this equation, we can find the place values.

The contribution of the 7 in the thousands place to this number is 7000. Without this number in the given number, its value would be 7,000 less than it is now. Therefore, the place value of 7 in the thousands place is 7000.
