Very good question. We break numbers up into assigned positions. Let's look at an example below.
Take the number 9,762. Each Digit represents a place in the number line.
You'd pronounce this number as Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty Two.
So the 9's place is the Thousands (NOT THOUSANDTHS).
The 7's place is the Hundreds (NOT HUNDREDTHS).
The 6's place is the Tens (NOT TENTHS)
And the 2's place is the Ones.
As for decimals. Let's take the number 0.1234
The 0 is the one's place. There are no ones.
Now to the right of the decimal we begin the THS's.
1 is the TENTHS (NOT TENS) Place
2 is the HUNDREDTHS (NOT HUNDREDS)
3 is the THOUSANDTHS (NOT THOUSAND)
4 is the TEN THOUSANDTHS (NOT TEN THOUSAND)
And so on.
The PLACE VALUE.
no the value of the number is not based on the position it is based on what the place value is

4 occupies the UNIT position and the value is four.
Place value refers to the value of a digit based on its position within a number. Each digit in a number has a specific place value, which is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. For example, in the number 245, the place value of the digit 2 is 200, the place value of the digit 4 is 40, and the place value of the digit 5 is 5.
The PLACE VALUE.
It is its face value, which is the place value times the value of the digit.
no the value of the number is not based on the position it is based on what the place value is
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 the position of a digit in a number.
It is the numerical value of a digit, taking no account of its position (place value).
In the particular position, it is 70,000.
4 occupies the UNIT position and the value is four.
Place value refers to the value of a digit based on its position within a number. Each digit in a number has a specific place value, which is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. For example, in the number 245, the place value of the digit 2 is 200, the place value of the digit 4 is 40, and the place value of the digit 5 is 5.
It is its place value.
This is called the hundreds position, so the 8 has a value of 800.
