7= 7000
7 x 10^3 = 7,000
1st digit is 10^0
2nd digit is 10^1
3rd digit is 10^2
4th digit is 10^3
7 is the 4th digit to the left of the (implicit) decimal point,
so 7 means 7x10^3 = 7,000
Hi there,
As a note, the place values increase by 10 times as you travel to the left in a number.
For example,
1234 :
4 is in the ones place
10 times 1 is 10 so the 3 represents 10x 3 or 30
10 times 10 is 100 so the 2 represents 100 x 2 or 200
10 times 100 is 1000 so the 1 represents 1000 x 1 or 1000
This would continue on for as many place values as needed.
