Formation of Numbers

Two different numbers can be formed using 2 different digits. In a 2-digit number 42. The digits are 4 and 2. We can form another number 24 by using same digits.

The greater number is formed by arranging the given digits in descending order.

42

is greater than

24


The smaller number is formed by arranging the given digits in ascending order.

24

is smaller than

42


We form the greater number by repeating the greater digit. 4 is the greater digit in the number.

42


44

44 is the greater number formed.


We form the smallest number by repeating the smallest digit.
