Question

Write the greatest number possible with 5 in the thousands place using the digits 3,4,5,7&9 only once..

Answer 1

Hi Cyril,

In order to fulfill this assignment question involving the five (initially) separate single-digit numbers above being combined mathematically based on the directions provided, you will ultimately create a whole number in the ten-thousands since numbers in the ten-thousands contain five digits accordingly:

Since 9 is the largest digit in individual numeric quantity, that number will go in the ten-thousands place.

Since 5 is the digit required to be placed in the thousands place, that number will go next to the 9.

Since 7 is the next-largest digit in individual numeric quantity, that number will go in the hundreds place next to the 7.

Since 4 is the next-largest digit remaining after 7, it will therefore be placed next to the 7 in the tens place.

That leaves us with the digit 3 in the ones place.

Our final "product" is: 95,743
