Numbers are made up of digits in
the same way that words are made up of letters.
|
The
number...


(seventy-six)
is made up of the digits
7, and 6. Each
digit has a special value which depends on its place in the number.
7 in the tens place =
70
6 in the ones place =
6
A
number is
composed by
adding those values together.
70
+
6
76
OR
70 + 6
=
76
A
number is
decomposed
when you start with the number


and you give
the value of each digit in the number.
32
= 30 + 2
