Now, finding the place value of each digit and writing them in the expanded form, we can express the above
numbers in expanded form easily as follows:
(a) 44862587 = 40000000 + 4000000 + 800000 + 60000 + 2000 + 500 + 80 + 7
(b) 992695421 = 900000000 + 90000000 + 2000000 + 600000 + 90000 + 5000 + 400 + 20 + 1
(c) 2859516 = 2000000 + 800000 + 50000 + 9000 + 500 + 10 + 6
Remember
1. The place value of a digit depends on its position in the place value chart, whereas the face value
does not depend on its position. It is the value of the digit itself.
2. The place value of a digit is obtained by putting as many zeros after it as the number of places towards
its right in the place value chart
3. The place value of 0 is 0 itself, wherever it may be.
3.3 INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF NUMERATION
The International system is followed by most of the countries around the world. In the International System
of Numeration, we use Ones, Thousands, Millions, Billions, etc. as periods. In each period, there are three
places. The place value chart used in the International System of Numeration is shown below:
Periods Billions Millions Thousands Ones
Places Hundred Ten Billions Hundred Ten Millions Hundred Ten Thousands Hundreds Tens Ones
Billions Billions (B) Millions Millions (M) Thousands Thousands (Th) (H) (T) (O)
(HB) (TB) (HM) (TM) (HTh) (TTh)

For example: The number 65932708 is read as sixty-five million nine hundred thirty-two thousand seven
hundred eight.
Placement of Commas in Large Numbers
A comma (,) is used to separate periods in large numbers. It helps us to read and write them easily.
• In the Indian system of numeration, the first comma comes after the hundreds place (i.e., three digits
from the right); thereafter, it comes after every two digits.
• In the International system of numeration, a comma comes after every three digits from the right.
Ex 1. Insert commas in 754321 and write it in words according to the Indian system.
Sol. 7,54,321; “Seven lakh fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one”.
