In a multi-digit whole number, each place value is
ten times greater than the place value to its right.
So, a digit in one place represents ten times
what it represents in the place to its right.
The 7 in the ten thousands place has a value of 70,000.
The 7 in the thousands place has a value of 7,000.
So, 70,000 is ten times greater than 7,000.
This means that the 7 in the ten thousands place is ten times greater than the 7 in the thousands place.
