Answer:

437,318 = 4×10⁵ +3×10⁴ +7×10³ +3×10² +1×10¹ +8×10⁰ and see below

Explanation:

You want to know the expanded form of the base-10 number 437,318.

Expanded form

In general, "expanded form" is a form in which the place value of each digit position is made more or less explicit. There are at least 3 different ways a number can be written in expanded form.

This form shows the value of each digit according to its place in the number.

437,318 = 400,000 +30,000 +7,000 +300 +10 +8

This form shows the place value multiplier of each digit.

437,318 = 4×100,000 +3×10,000 +7×1,000 +3×100 +1×10 +8×1

This form shows the place value multiplier as a power of 10. Understanding this form can be useful when converting a number to or from scientific notation.

437,318 = 4×10⁵ +3×10⁴ +7×10³ +3×10² +1×10¹ +8×10⁰

The powers of ten continue to decrease for number places to the right of the decimal point.

Additional comment

Understanding expanded form(s) can also be helpful when you consider number bases other than 10. As in the last form shown above, each place value multiplier in a place value number is a power of the base of the number system. The powers increase to the left and decrease to the right.

The attachment shows a number different from the one in this problem statement. It is intended to show you the place value multipliers and their names.
