Place Value is a key feature of our (Arabic) numeral system. Each digit has a basic value and its total value in a number is determined by its place value.

For example:

45678

The bolded number 7 is in the tens place, and stands for 70.

The italicized 8 is in the ones place and has its basic value.

The crossed-out 6 is in the hundreds place and so means 600.

Each place value is 10 times the value of the of the column to its right.
