Numbers, such as 784, have three digits. Each digit is a different
place value.
The first digit is called the hundred's place.
It tells you how many sets of one hundred are in the number. The
number 784 had seven hundreds.
The middle digit is the ten's place.
It tells you that there are 8 tens in addition to the seven hundreds.
The last or right digit is the one's place which is 4 in this example.
Therefore, there are 7 sets of 100, plus 8 sets of 10, plus 4 ones in the number 784.
