No. A number with multiple digits does not have a place value. A single digit in a multi-digit number has a place value.
To round numbers to the greatest place value, you first identify the target place value you want to round to. Then, you look at the digit to the right of the target place value. If that digit is 5 or greater, you round up by adding 1 to the target place value. If the digit is less than 5, you leave the target place value as it is. Finally, replace all digits to the right of the target place value with zeros.
In the number 516, the place value of the digit 5 is in the hundreds place, the place value of the digit 1 is in the tens place, and the place value of the digit 6 is in the ones place. Therefore, the place value of 5 is 500, the place value of 1 is 10, and the place value of 6 is 6.
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.

A whole number does not have a place value: only a single digit in a number has a place value - a different place value for each digit.
