The place value of a digit in a number is the value it holds to be at the place in
the number. We know about the place value and face value of a digit and we
will learn about it in details.

Place, Place Value and Face Value:

A number is formed by grouping the digits together.

Each digit has a fixed position called its place.
Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the
digit.
The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the
digit itself
Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) (value of the place)

1. The place value of every one-digit number is the same as and equal to its
face value.

(i) Place value and face value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8 and 9 respectively.

(ii) The place value of zero (0) is always 0. It may hold any place in a number,
its value is always 0.

As, in 105, 350, 42017, 90218 the place value of 0 in each number is 0.

2. In a two-digit number, the place value of the ten-place digit is 10 times of

the digit.

As, in 58, the place value of 5 is 5 10 = 50 and place value of 8 is 8 1= 8;

the face value of 5 is 5 and of 8 is 8.

3. In the number 475, the digit 5 is at ones place, digit 7 is at tens place and
digit 4 is at hundreds place.

So, place value of 5 = 5, place value of 7 = 7 10 = 70, and place value of 4 is

4 100 = 400.
Thus, for the place value of a digit, the digit is multiplied by the place value of 1
it has to be that place.

For Example:

In 768;
the place value of 8 = 8 1 = 8
the place value of 6 = 6 10 = 60 and
the place value of 7 is 7 100 = 700.

4. Now it is the general law that the digit possesses its place value as the
product of the digit and place value of one to be at that position.

For Example:

(i) In a number 4129;

the place value of 9 is 9 1 = 9 as 9 is at ones or units place.

the place value of 2 is 2 10 = 20 as 2 is at tens place.

the place value of 1 is 1 100 = 100 as 1 is at hundreds place.

the place value of 4 is 4 1000 = 4000 as 4 is at thousands place.

(ii) In a number 3720, the place value of

3 is 3 1000 = 3000 3 being at Th-place

7 is 7 100 = 700 7 being at H-place

2 is 2 10 = 20 2 being at T-place

0 is 0 1 = 0 0 being at ones or units place

Difference between Face Value and Place value
1.Face value of a digit in a number is the digit itself
whereas the place value of a digit in a number is the
digit multiplied by thousand or hundred or whatever
place it is situated in the place value table.

Example: for the number 25486 the face value of digit 5

situated at thousand's place is 5 and the place value is 5
x 1000 = 5000.

2. Face value of a digit always remain the same

irrespective of the number it is used. For example the
face value of digit 2 in 26455665 and in 290 is the same
and is digit 2 itself.Whereas the place value of a digit
changes with number it is used in.
For example the place value of 2 in 26455665 is
20000000 and in number 29 it is 20.

Some examples:

1.What is the face value of 9 in 25954558700?

Here the face value of 9 is 9 itself. The face value is not

impacted by the location of the digit 9 in the number.
Whereas
Place value of 9 in the above number is 9x100000000.

Easy way of getting place value of a digit.

Take the case of finding the place value of 8 in 5458233.

Step 1: Ignore any digits to the left of 8 in the number

5458233. We get 8233.

Step 2: Now replace all the digits after the digit 8 by 0.

We will get 8000.

Hence , 8000 is the required place value of 8 in 5458233.

PLACE, PLACE VALUE & FACE VALUE

PLACE, PLACE VALUE & FACE VALUE OF DIGIT IN A NUMERAL :-

The PLACE of a digit is decided by its position.

The FACE VALUE of a digit is the digit itself.
The PLACE VALUE of a digit is the product of the place and its face value.

For eg. In the numeral 750431 , we have (Indian System)

Given Numeral Face Value * Place = Place Value

1 1 * 1 = 1

3 3 * 10 = 30

4 4 * 100 = 400

0 0 * 1000 = 0

5 5 * 10,000 = 50,000

7 7 * 100000 = 700000

NOTE:- Place value is also called local value of digit.
