The value of a digit:
In 12,345 , the value of the digit 5 is 5 and the value of the digit 1 is 10,000.
Place value:
In 13,563 ,the place value of the digit 3 is thousands and the place value of the digit 6 is tens.
The value of a digit is its value, as in 0-9
The place value of a digit is its value multiplied by its place (column) value which is dependant upon where it is in the number.
In the units column, the place value is 1
In the tens column, it is 10
in the hundreds column it is 100
in the tenths column it is 1/10
So in 123.4:
The digit 1 has value 1, but place value 1 x 100 = 100 (one hundred) since it is in the hundreds column
The digit 2 has value 2, but place value 2 x 10 = 20 (twenty) since it is in the tens column
The digit 3 has value 3, but place value 3 x 1 = 3 (three) since it is in the units column - in this case (only), its value and place value are the same.
The digit 4 has value 4, but place value 4 x 1/10 = 4/10 (four tenths) since it is in the tenths column.

Place value is were the number is located. Example: 210 the 1 is in the tens spot. The value of the digit is how large the number is. Example: 50 is larger than 5 There you go.
3508 has the face value of 5 is as 5 and the place value of 5 is as 500. So the difference between both numbers is: 500 - 5 = 495. By words that would be: five hundred minus five equals four hundred ninety-five.
Face value means the value of the digit in isolation.Place value means the value represented by the positionthat this digit sits within the number.If you take the number 10 for example:The first digit here "1" has a face value of 1. We just look at the digit in isolation and its face value is simply the value of the digit.However its place value is tens. That is because it sits in the place of the tens column of a number (second digit to the left of where the decimal point would go)For the number 200, the "2" has a face value of 2 and a place value of hundreds as it sits in the hundreds column of a number.
