Whole Numbers’ Place Value Chart, Names, and Periods Explanation

Whole Numbers: The whole numbers are those numbers that do not have decimal points. For example, 34, 100, 99, and 3 are the whole numbers.

What is the standard form of a number?

The standard form is just a way to write a number in digits. For example, the standard for of Nine is 9. In the same way, the standard form for Five-Hundred is 500.

What are Periods in a Number?

The standard form of the numbers is usually separated by commas when a whole number has 4 or more digits. We use a comma after every 3 digits of the number that is counted from the right.

For example, the standard way to write 100000 is 100,000. If it’s 10000, it will be written this way: 10,000.

So there are 2 periods in 10,000. In the same way, there are 3 periods in 10,504,046.

• The digit 100, 10, or 1 has just one period. You need more than 3 digits in a number to separate by comma
