Question

Part A: What is Leslie’s number and why. Part B: what is the least number that can be made using each digit exactly once and explain why the value of the 4 is greater than the value of 6

Answer 1

976 421; 124 679

Explanation:

Part A. Largest number

Leslie's number was 976 421.

This is because the largest numbers are in the positions of largest value.

For example, 9 in the hundred thousands place, the next largest number in the ten thousands place, and so on.

===============

Part B. Smallest number

The smallest possible number is 124 679.

The value of the 4 is greater than the value of the 6 because the 4 is in the thousands place and the 6 is only in the hundreds place.

4000 > 600.
