Expanded Form of a Number

Q: 1. What is the expanded form of a number?

Answer: A number written as the sum of the place values of its digits, is said to be in expanded form of a number.

Q: 2. What is the short form of a number?

Answer: The number written in standard form is said to be in short form

Q: 3. What is the expanded form of 468?

Answer: The expanded form of the number 468 = 400 + 60 + 8

We know that the number written as sum of the place-values of its digits is called the expanded form of a number.

Standard Form		Expanded Form
20,37,81,405	=	20,00,00,000 + 0 + 30,00,000 + 7,00,000 + 80,000 + 1,000 + 400 + 0 + 5

In expanded form of a number, the number is shown according to the place values of its digits.

This is shown here:

In 2385, the place values of the digits are given below:

$Standard Form and Expanded Form$

Hence, 2385 = 2000 + 300 + 80 + 5

Thus, 2000 + 300 + 80 + 5 is the expanded form of 2385.

Again,

2,55,109	=	2,00,000 + 50,000 + 5,000 + 100 + 0 + 9

Expanded Notation

The digits of the numerals 394381, 163845, 583927 are entered in the place value chart as given below.

Lakhs 100000	Ten thousands 10000	Thousands 1000	Hundreds 100	Tens 10	Ones 1
3	9	4	3	8	1
1	6	3	8	4	5
5	8	3	9	2	7

(i) What is the expanded form of the number 394381?

394381 = 3 lakhs + 9 ten thousands + 4 thousands + 3 hundreds +

8 tens + 1 one

= 3 × 100000 + 9 × 10000 + 4 × 1000 + 3 × 100 + 8 × 10 +

1 × 1

= 300000 + 90000 + 4000 + 300 + 80 + 1

(ii) What is the expanded form of the number 163845?

163845 = 1 lakhs + 6 ten thousands + 3 thousands + 8 hundreds +

4 tens + 5 ones

= 1 × 100000 + 6 × 10000 + 3 × 1000 + 8 × 100 + 4 × 10 +

= 5 × 1

= 100000 + 60000 + 3000 + 800 + 40 + 5

(iii) What is the place value of all the digits of number 583927?

Digit			Place Value
5	5 lakhs	→	5 × 100000 = 500000
8	8 ten thousands	→	8 × 10000 = 80000
3	3 thousands	→	3 × 1000 = 3000
9	9 hundreds	→	9 × 100 = 900
2	2 tens	→	2 × 10 = 20
7	7 ones	→	7 × 1 = 7

Given the expanded form of a number, we can also write the numeral in the standard form.

500000 + 80000 + 3000 + 900 + 20 + 7

= 583927

Expanded form of a number to standard form.

(iv) 3000 + 200 + 40 + 8 = 3248

(v) 7 ten thousands + 4 thousands + 2 hundreds + 3 tens + 8 ones

= 74238

Solved Examples on Expanded Form of a Number:

1. Write the expanded form for the number 70,39,41,295.

Solution:

$Expanded Form of a Number$

Therefore, the expanded form of the number 70,39,41,295 is 70,00,00,000 + 00000000 + 3000000+ 900000 + 40000 + 1000 + 200 + 90 + 5.

2. Find the expanded form of 453169.

Solution:

Place values of digits 453169

$Find the Expanded Form of a Number$

So, 453169 = 400000 + 50000 + 3000 + 100 + 60 + 9

3. Write the number in figures and then in words for the following expanded form:

(i) 80000 + 8000 + 500 + 50 + 7

Solution:

80000 + 8000 + 500 + 50 + 7

= 88557 (in figures)

Eighty eight thousand five hundred fifty seven (in words)

(ii) 100000 + 30000 + 2000 + 10 + 6

Solution:

100000 + 30000 + 2000 + 10 + 6 = 132016 (in figures)

One hundred thirty two thousand sixteen (in words)

We can write the expanded form of numbers in different ways.

4. Write in expanded form:

(i) 28369

Write as:

(a) 20000 + 8000 + 300 + 60 + 9

(b) 2 × 10000 + 8 × 1000 + 3 × 100 + 6 × 10 + 9 × 1

(ii) 419,247

Write as:

(a) 400000 + 10000 + 9000 + 200 + 40 + 7

(b) 4 × 100000 + 1 × 10000 + 9 × 1000 + 2 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1

Writing a numeral as the sum of the place values of all its digits is called the expanded form of that numeral.

5. Write (i) 72,908; (ii) 5,01,492 in the expanded form.

Solution:

Write the given numbers in the place-value chart.

(i) 72,908

$Expanded Form - Place Value Chart$

Thus, 72, 90870,000 + 2,000 + 900 + 0 + 8

(ii)

$Expanded Form and Place Value Chart$

Thus, 5,01,492 = 5,00,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 400 + 90 + 2

= 5,00,000 + 1,000 + 400 + 90 + 2

Numbers Beyond One Lakh

1 lakh	= 10⁵	= 100000
2 lakh	= 5 × 10²	= 200000
3 lakh	= 5 × 10³	= 300000
4 lakh	= 5 × 10⁴	= 400000
5 lakh	= 5 × 10⁵	= 500000
6 lakh	= 6 × 10⁵	= 600000
7 lakh	= 7 × 10⁵	= 700000
8 lakh	= 8 × 10⁵	= 800000
9 lakh	= 9 × 10⁵	= 900000
10 lakh	= 10 × 10⁵	= 1000000

Note: There are 7 digits in ten lakhs.

Therefore the seventh place is called ten lakhs place.
