Fascinating Fact:

The digit nine in 9,000,000 is worth nine million, while the nine in 900 is worth nine hundred, the same digit but very different powers.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils explore how the value of a digit depends on its position in a number. This understanding is essential when working with large numbers and decimals, as each step to the left increases value tenfold.

Key Terms

  • Digit: Any of the ten numerals from zero to nine used to form numbers.
  • Place: The position of a digit in a number, which determines its value.
  • Magnitude: The size or value of a number compared with others.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Why does the same digit have different values?

The value of a digit depends on where it sits in the number. For example, the five in fifty is worth ten times more than the five in five.

How can I tell the value of a digit in a large number?

Look at the digit’s position from right to left. Each step to the left multiplies the value by ten, such as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and so on.

What is the difference between a digit and a number?

A digit is a single symbol like 3 or 7. A number is made by combining digits, such as 37 or 3,700, where each digit’s place changes its value.
