READING THE NUMBERS
Let us think about the numbers we see everyday in school, in newspaper, at home, on television and in books and magagines.
We say:- 5 Frogs, 10 Fishes, 100 dollers, 10,000 people etc.
5 FROGS |
10 FISHES
| 100 DOLLERS |
10,000 PEOPLE |
 |

Lets see a few more numbers:-
57 | 40,590 | 95,006 | 570,000 | 50,428 | 5,200,806 |
What are these numbers??? How to read them???
To learn how to read them and understand their value lets see what PLACE VALUE of a digit is.
PLACE VALUE:- All the numbers we see are part of the Decimal System. The decimal system uses ten digits:--
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and 9 .The position of a digit in a number gives it a specific value that is called its Place Value.
Lets see the Place Value Chart and find out what is the place value of 5 in each number:-
|
| | 4 | 0 | 5 | 9 | 0 |
| | | | | 5 | 7 |
| | 9 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 6 |
| 5 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| | 5 | 0 | 4 | 2 | 8 |
5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 0 | 6 |
3 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 9 | 5 | 7 |

PLACE VALUE |

PLACE VALUE OF 5 |
--->Place value of 5 in 40590 is Five Hundred |
--->Place value of 5 in 57 is Fifty |
--->Place value of 5 in 95,006 is Five Thousand |
--->Place value of 5 in 570,000 is Five Hundred Thousand |
--->Place value of 5 in 50428 is Fifty Thousand |
--->Place value of 5 in 5,200,806 is Five Million |
Now lets read the numbers by reading the digits and their place value.
For example :- 3,421,957
Place value of 3 = 3 million
Total millions=3 million
Place value of 4 = 4*hundred thousand or 400 thousand
Place value of 2 = 2*ten thousand or 20 thousand
Place value of 1 = 1 thousand
lets total all thousands=421 thousand
Place value of 9 = 9 hundred
total hundreds= 9 hundred
Place value of 5 = 50
Place value of 7 = 7
lets total tens and ones=57
Therefore total value of the number is= 3 million 421 thousand 9 hundred 57
Write:3,421,157 Standard Form
Read:Three million, four houndred twenty one thousand, nine hundred, fifty seven
