Digits are the ten mathematical symbols (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) used to represent numeric values. These digits are arranged in a specific order to create numbers by placing them in positions that represent different values, known as place value. Understanding place value and how to order the digits enables us to correctly read and write whole numbers.

we first need to define the place value of the digit furthest to


the right

In the number 0.053, the digit 3 is in the rightmost place.


Using our place value pattern, we can see that the digit 3 is in
the one-thousandths place.
