In the number 63,407,218, which place value does the digit 6 occupy?
AMillions place
BTen thousands place
CTen millions place
DHundreds place
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Ten millions place
1. Write 63,407,218 into a place value chart, starting from the right.
2. Counting from the right: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, then ten millions.
3. The digit 6 is the leftmost digit of this number, which falls in the ten millions place.
4. Millions place holds the 3, ten thousands place holds the 0, and hundreds place holds the 2, so none of those match the digit 6.
