1 is in the thousands place

0 is in the hundreds place

0 is in the tens place

0 is in the ones place

This leads us to place value which is the foundation of comprehending a huge number such as one thousand.

The word place value in math refers to a numerical value assigned to a digit depending on its position in a number.

Place value in math is the terminology used for the worth of a certain digit within a number based on its position. For example, in the number 1,000:

The digit 1 represents 1 × 1,000 = 1,000

Here, the number of hundreds, tens, and ones is not shown by the three zeros.

Therefore ,the number is comprised of the following:

1 thousand

0 hundreds

0 tens

0 ones

Understanding place values helps in knowing how to read, how to write and compare the numbers. For example, in figure 3,248, the digit 3 is in the thousands place, i.e it means 3000.
