The quantity that represents units in a value is typically referred to as the "magnitude" or "size" of that value. In mathematical terms, this can be expressed as the absolute value, which denotes the distance of a number from zero on a number line, regardless of its sign. In various contexts, such as physics or finance, units may also refer to specific measurements like meters, dollars, or other defined quantities that help convey the scale or amount of a value.
It represents 8 units
A variable is usually used for that - for example, a single letter that represents the unknown quantity.
In the number 24, the place value of the 4 is in the units (or ones) position. This means it represents 4 ones, or simply 4. The overall value of 24 combines the 2 in the tens place, which represents 20, and the 4 in the units place.
The 9 in 879 represents nine ones or nine units
+4 and -4 both do.

It represents 7 ones or 7 units
The 5 in the number 45.37 represents 5 units.
The digit 3 in the number 3.026 represents three units.
In the number 24, the place value of the 4 is in the units (or ones) position. This means it represents 4 ones, or simply 4. The overall value of 24 combines the 2 in the tens place, which represents 20, and the 4 in the units place.
The 9 in 879 represents nine ones or nine units
+4 and -4 both do.
A ratio that's used to convert units always has the value of ' 1 ' with no units. If it were anything different, then you could not multiply it or divide it by any quantity without changing the value of the quantity, which is a basic no-no.
In the number 105, the digit 5 is in the units place, which means its value is 5. It represents five single units, contributing to the total value of the number. Therefore, the value of the digit 5 in 105 is simply 5.
