Topics in Knowing our Numbers

1

Comparing Numbers

  • A number with MORE digits is ALWAYS greater than a number with fewer digits.
  • If two numbers have the SAME number of digits, compare the leftmost (highest place value) digit first.
  • If the leftmost digits are equal, move to the next digit and compare again.
2

Forming Greatest and Smallest Numbers from Given Digits

  • To form the GREATEST number: arrange the given digits in DESCENDING order (largest digit first).
  • To form the SMALLEST number: arrange the given digits in ASCENDING order (smallest digit first).
  • IMPORTANT RULE: If 0 is one of the digits, it CANNOT be placed at the leftmost position (as that would reduce the number of digits).
3

Place Value and Expanding Large Numbers

  • Place value chart (Indian System): Ones (O), Tens (T), Hundreds (H), Thousands (Th), Ten Thousands (TTh), Lakhs (L), Ten Lakhs (TL), Crores (C), Ten Crores (TC).
  • Expansion of a number: Write each digit multiplied by its place value.
  • Example: 45278 = 4×10000 + 5×1000 + 2×100 + 7×10 + 8×1.
