How does the position of a number determine its value?

The value of a digit in a number is the face value of the digit multiplied by its place value. In the decimal system, the value of the digit immediately to the left of the decimal point is units so that its numeric value is the face value of that digit. The place value of any other digits is ten times the place value of the digit to its right - or one tenth of the digit to its left.In the binary system, the place value goes up in multiples of 2, in the octal system in powers of 8 and in hexadecimal in 16s. There are also number systems based on other bases.


What is the highest digit that can be used in each place value?

In the decimal number system, the highest valued digit is 9. The highest digit that ever appears in any one 'place' of a number is one less than the 'base' of the number. The numbers that everyone is most familiar with ... the numbers you see around you every day ... are numbers written in the 'decimal' system, using the 'base' of 10. So the highest digit in any one place is 9. 'Binary' numbers ... the form most used to represent numbers inside digital circuits and computers ... are constructed in base 2. So the highest digit in any one place is 1, and each of these numbers is just a string of 1's and zeros. Digits can be even higher than 9 in number systems that use other bases. For example, the hexadecimal system (often used in computer science to represent binary numbers) is base 16, so in that case the highest valued digit is "F" which has a value equivalent to 15 in a decimal representation. As an example, the number "FA" hexadecimal, has decimal value 15*16 + 10 = 250.


Why is 1000 the smallest four digit number?

The highest placeholder in a 4-digit number is the thousands place. You would want the smallest value in this place. If it was a zero, then it's not really a 4-digit number, anymore. The other places should also have the smallest numbers possible, but now you can use zeros, and it remain a 4-digit number. Or you could just say, that if you subtract 1 from 1000 you now have 999 which is no longer a 4-digit number.

the highest place value. like if its a hundreds number, its going to be the hundreds place.


What is the largest digit that you can use in each place value?

It depends on which base system you are using. If you use base 10 (the most common one which is used for most math) then any digit from 0 through 9 is acceptable for any given place value. The largest of these digits would be 9. If you are using a different base system then the answer will be different. For example, in base three the numbers 0 through 2 are acceptable for any one place value. The greatest digit in base three for a place value is 2.


How do you use a decimal in weight?

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 does not relate directly to weight.
