Forming 3-Digit Numbers

We will learn forming 3-digit numbers.

1. Without repeating any of the digits, build the smallest and greatest 3-digit numbers using the digits 3, 7 and 2.

Greatest Number

Arrange the digits in descending order. Start with hundreds place. 7 > 3 > 2 Greatest number possible is 732.


Smallest Number

Arrange the digits in ascending order. Start with hundreds place. 2 < 3 < 7 Smallest number possible is 237.

2. Without repeating any of the digits, build the smallest and greatest 3-digit numbers using the digits 5, 6 and 2.

Greatest Number

Arrange the digits in descending order. Start with hundreds place. 6 > 5 > 2 Greatest number possible is 652.


Smallest Number

Arrange the digits in ascending order. Start with hundreds place. 2 < 5 < 6 Smallest number possible is 256.


3. Without repeating any of the digits, build the smallest and greatest 3-digit numbers using the digits 3, 4 and 1.

Greatest Number

Arrange the digits in descending order. Start with hundreds place. 4 > 3 > 1 Greatest number possible is 431.


Smallest Number

Arrange the digits in ascending order. Start with hundreds place. 1 < 3 < 4 Smallest number possible is 134.
