Place Value of 6-Digit Number

Number Lakh Ten-Thousands Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
100251 1 0 0 2 5 1
106972 1 0 6 9 7 2
675231 6 7 5 2 3 1

Expanded Forms of Six Digit Numbers

Example: Write 654213 in expanded form.

Solution: 654213 = 600000 + 50000 + 4000 + 200 + 10 + 3

Comparison of Two Numbers

Rules for comparing 2 6 digit numbers are as follows:

  • Rule 1: Number which contains more digits is greater than the number having less digits.
  • Rule 2: When two numbers contain same digits then we compare left most digits of both the numbers.

Number which is having greater digit should be considered as larger number. If the left most digits of both the numbers are same, then we compare the next digits to the right. This process continues till we get a greater digit to decide which number is greater.

Example: Which number is greater? 665785 and 676865

Solution:676865 is greater than 665785 as '7' in ten thousand place for 676865 is greater than '6' in ten thousand place for 665785

Ascending Order

Ascending order means, writing a given group of numbers in increasing order. Let’s have a look at an example...

Example: Arrange the below given numbers in ascending order.

506780, 500789, 506098, 567893

Solution:500789, 506098, 506780, 567893

Descending Order

Descending order means writing a given group of numbers in decreasing order. Let’s have a look at an example...

Example: Arrange the below given numbers in descending order.

156798, 156780, 155634, 165020

Solution:165020, 156798, 156780, 155634
