Which digit is in the ten thousands place in 34816?

Answer 1

3.

Split the number into blocks of 3 digits from the right hand end (34 816).

Then in each block, the digits are H-T-U = Hundreds-Tens-Units.

From the right hand end the blocks are "none", "Thousands", "Millions", ...

So the ten thousands place is the tens digit (second from right hand end of the block) of the thousands block (second from the right hand end):

thousands.......none

.... HTU............ HTU

........34............. 816

Ten-thousands digit = 3.
