Key Concepts

Positional Notation

Positional notation is the method of representing numbers in which the position of each digit indicates its weight or value. This system allows the same symbol to represent different values depending on where it appears in the number, making it possible to express large numbers efficiently.

Expanded Form

Expanded form is a way to write a number as the sum of each digit multiplied by its corresponding place value. This technique clearly illustrates how each digit contributes to the total value of the number according to its position.

Place Value

Place value refers to the numerical value that a digit represents based on its position within a number. In the base-10 system, each digit’s position corresponds to a power of 10, which determines its actual value when the digit is multiplied by that power.
