Question

the numeral 19 206 783 has _____ periods?

Answer 1

Hi Bryan,

 

Your number can be written with commas: 19,206,783. Each comma-separated section is a period.

 

The 783 is in the first period, called UNITS.

The 206 is in the second period called the THOUSANDS.

The 19 is in the third period called the MILLIONS.

 

So, this number has 3 periods.

Answer 2

Bryan, it seems to depend on what your teacher thinks is a period. Periods are groups of three mumerals, separated by commas. It starts with the ones, then the thousands, the millions, etc.

 

Technically, your numeral has 3 periods, though some may say a period has to have 3 numerals, so the 19 doesn't count.

Answer 3

 

Since 9 is the largest digit, the largest 8-digit number as a 9 in each digit place.

 

So the digit in the millions place is 9.

 

The largest 8-digit number is 99,999,999.
