Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

The value of a digit due to its position in a number is called as place value.

For example, there's a number

23450

2 is in ten thousands place and it has a place value of 20,000

3 is in thousands place and it has a place value of 3000

4 is in hundreds place and it has a place value of 400

5 is in tens place and has a place value of 50

0 is in unit or ones place and has a value of 0

When we divide the number by 10, we move every digit from its current place value to the right.

23450 divided by 10 = 2345

Now,

2 is in thousands place and it has a place value of 2,000

3 is in hundreds place and it has a place value of 300

4 is in tens place and it has a place value of 40

5 is in unit or ones place and has a place value of 5
