e.g., In the place value of 9 is as 9 is in the ten thousands place.
e.g., In the face value of 5 is 5 and not 500.
Rules for comparison of numbers:
e.g.,
e.g.,
e.g.,
Ordering of numbers:
(a) Ascending order:
The numbers arranged from the least to the largest are said to be in ascending order.
e.g., 2093, 5146, 7001, 8965, 9900 are in ascending order.
(b) Descending order:
The numbers arranged from the largest to the least are said to be in descending order.
e.g. 9900, 8965, 7001, 5146, 2093 are in descending order.
Estimation:
Rounding numbers to get their approximate values to a specified level of approximation is called estimation.
We use the approximation sign to stand for "approximately equal to".
The estimated value is different from the actual value.
The best estimate is the one in which the difference between the estimated value and the actual value is the least.
Rounding numbers:
Place to which a number is to be estimated |
Place of the digit to be considered |
Value of the digit considered |
What must be done |
Examples |
10
|
Ones
|
0-4 |
Replace ones digit with 0 |
so, 23 rounded to the nearest 10 is 20. |
5-9 |
Replace ones digit with 0. Add 1 to tens digit . |
So, 142 rounded to the nearest 100 is 100 |

Replace ones, tens and hundreds digits with 0. |
So, 3234 rounded to the nearest 1000 is 3000. |
5-9 |

So, 35.9 rounded to the nearest 1000 is 4000. |
Rules for rounding off numbers:
(i) While rounding off numbers, it is important to note the place value which has to be rounded off.
(ii) Look at the digit that is after the digit in that place value.
(iii) If the digit is greater than or equal to 5, we round up the number.
(iv) If the digit is lesser than 5, we round down the number.
