Imagine a decimal number, for example, 123 (hundred and twenty-three). Each digit has a corresponding place-value; the right-most digit has the place-value 1, the next digit (counting from the right) has the place-value 10, the next digit hast eh place-value 100. The right-most position (where the digit "3" is in this example) is in the position of least value - the least significant position. When several bits represent an integer, the situation is the same, except that the numbers are in base-2 instead of base-10 (each position is worth twice as much as the position to the right). But you still have the concept of place-value, and the digit that represents the 1's position is the "least significant bit".
The number whose farthest right significant digit determines it. Whatever place that digit is in is the last significant digit in the sum. For example: 433 + 150 + 3.67 + 8000 = 8586.67, but in sig figs this is only 9000, as the thousands digit is the lowest digit that can be represented.
A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. It is independent of a measurement unit.
0.47 is greater because its most significant digit is in the tenths place.
In scientific notation, we have 4.8 x 100 g since the decimal place occurs between the leading nonzero digit and the adjacent digit.
Look at the digit in ten-thousandths place. If it is five or greater, round the digit in thousandths place to the next higher digit. If the digit in ten-thousandths place is less than five, leave the digit in thousandths place as it is. 9.1132 rounded to the nearest thousandths is 9.113.
The thousandths place digit is the third digit to the right of the decimal point.Look at the digit to the right of that one (the ten thousandths place).If that digit is 0-4, then the thousandths digit doesn't change.If that digit is 5-9, then add 1 to the thousandths place digit and carry over the rest of the addition if the thousandths digit is a 9.Truncate at the thousandths place (discard all digits to the right of it)
The digit in the ten thousandths place is the 1.
It is the digit 1 that occupies the ten thousandths place
The digit in the thousandths place of the number 5.6789 is the 8.
Thousandths
The digit in the thousandths place of 3.129 is 9.
245.17086 Digit in thousandths place is 0 Digit in ten thousandths place is 8 Digit in tenths place is 1
5 is in the thousandths place; there is no digit in the thousands place.
We will use an example to help us out, 0.345, the 3 is in the tenths digit place, the 4 is in the hundredths digit place, and the 5 is in the thousandths digit place. This would be read as three hundred forty-five thousandths.
