Where is the thousandths place on big numbers?

Answer 1

Remember that the thousandths place is behind the zero. The thousandths place or any place value is the same no matter how big the number is.

Think of the decimal as the O in ones place

(hint: think of this only when you are trying to find the place value of numbers behind the decimal)

Example:

.123456789

So the decimal stand for ones

The 2 stands for tenths

3 is for hundredths

4 is for thousandths

5 stands for ten thousandths

6 place value hundred thousandths

7's place value is millionths

(hope this helps)
