Question

Which digit in 125 734 016 has a value of 20 000 000?

Answer 1

Explanation:

in a number like 125,734,016

the right most position has the weight 10⁰ = 1

so, 6×1 = 6.

the second right most position has the weight 10¹ = 10.

so, 1×10 = 10

the third right most position has the weight 10² = 100.

so, 0×100 = 0

the 4th right most position has the weight 10³ = 1000.

so, 4×1000 = 4,000

the 5th right most position has the weight 10⁴ = 10000.

so, 3×10000 = 30,000

the 6th right most position has the weight 10⁵ = 100000.

so, 7×100000 = 700,000

the 7th right most position has the weight 10⁶ = 1000000.

so, 5×1000000 = 5,000,000

the 8th right most position has the weight 10⁷ = 10000000

so, 2×10000000 = 20,000,000

and so on.

as we can see, the 2 (the 8th most position from the right or the second position from the left) has the value of 20,000,000.

Answer 2

The digit 2 has a value of 20,000,000. Why? Well, see below!

This is a basic place value problem! The digit closest to the right is the ones place, the one to the left of the ones place is the tens place, the one to the left of the tens place is the hundreds place. These intervals are continuous but in the form of thousands, millions, billions, trillions, and many larger numbers that follow. In this problem, here’s the place value for each number:

Value of 6: 6
Value of 1 (to the left of 6): 10
Value of 0: 0 (typically this would represent hundreds but because 0 means absence of or none, the value is 0)
Value of 4: 4,000
Value of 3: 30,000
Value of 7: 700,000
Value of 5: 5,000,000
Value of 2: 20,000,000
Value of 1 (to the left of 2): 100,000,000

Because the digit 2 that this question is referring to is in the ten millions place, we can identify that this value equals 20,000,000 by considering the following equation:

2 x 10,000,000 = 20,000,000

Therefore, the digit in 125,734,016 that has a value of 20,000,000 is the digit 2 that is farthest to the left of the number. If you need extra help to understand this, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
