the value of the place that a digit occupies in a numeral in relation to the decimal point. Examples: Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths.... Each column where a number sits has a place value. In the number 125 the 1 is in the hundreds place value, the 2 is in the tens place value and the 5 is in the ones place value. More complex numbers use place values to the right of the decimal point, for example, 13.456, in this number the 1 is the in the tens, the 3 is in the ones, the 4 is in the tenths, the 5 is in the hundredths, the 6 is in the thousandths. Remember it goes in succession but don't get confused with the right side of the decimal there is no "oneths". The place values go in succession like this but are not limited to this example.

Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, Ones (Decimal) Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths, Ten Thousandths
