It determines how much that digit is worth. See this article on place value. http://www.aaamath.com/plc.htm
no the value of the number is not based on the position it is based on what the place value is
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
It is its face value, which is the place value times the value of the digit.
645 is a 3-digit number. A single digit in a number can have a place value. A number with several digits cannot.
The value of the position of a digit in a number.
It is its place value.
Because each position has an intrinsic value. In the number "111", the right-most "1" has a value of 1, the second digit from the right has a value of 10, the third digit from the right has a value of 100. The "place" of a digit defines its value.Because each position has an intrinsic 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.
Yes, that is correct.
It is the place value of the first non-zero digit in the number.
the 8 would be at the ten-thousand place value
