PLACE VALUE
• The value of any digit depends on its place
value
• Place value is based on multiples of 10 as
follows:
HUNDRED TEN
MILLIONS THOUSANDS THOUSANDS THOUSANDS HUNDREDS TENS UNITS
2 , 6 7 8 , 9 3 2
EXPANDED FORM
• Place value held by each digit can be
emphasized by writing the number in
expanded form
382 can be written in expanded form as:
3 hundreds + 8 tens + 2 ones
or
( 3 × 100 ) +( 8 × 10 ) +( 2 × 1)
ESTIMATING
• Used when an exact mathematical answer
is not required
• A rough calculation is called estimating or
approximating
• Mistakes can often be avoided when
estimating is done before the actual
calculation
• When estimating, exact values are
rounded
ROUNDING
• Used to make estimates
• Rounding Rules:
– Determine place value to which the
number is to be rounded
– Look at the digit immediately to its right.
• If digit to right is less than 5, replace that digit
and all following digits with zeros
• If digit to right is 5 or more, add 1 to the digit in
the place to which you are rounding. Replace
all following digits with zeros
ROUNDING EXAMPLES
• Round 612 to the nearest hundred
Since 1 is less than 5, 6 remains unchanged
–Ans: 600
• Round 175,890 to the nearest ten thousand
7 is in the ten thousands place value, so look at 5
Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, change 7 to
8 and replace 5, 8, and 9 with zeros
–Ans: 180,000
ROUNDING TO THE EVEN
• Many technical trades use a process of
rounding to even
• Reduces bias when several numbers
are added
ROUNDING TO THE EVEN
• Rounding Rules:
– Determine place value to which the
number is to be rounded
– This is the same as the previous method
– The only difference is if the digit to the right
is 5 followed by all zeros,
• Increase the digits at the place value by 1 if it is
an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9)
• Do not change the digits place if it is an even
number (0, 2, 4, 6, 8)
ROUNDING TO EVENS
EXAMPLES
• Round 4,250 to the nearest hundred
2 is in the hundreds place so look at 5
5 is followed by zeros and 2 is an even number so drop the
5 and leave the 2
– Ans: 4,200
• Round 673,500 to the nearest thousand
3 is in the thousands place so look at 5
5 is followed by zeros and 3 is odd so change the 3 to a 4
– Ans: 674,000
ADDITION OF WHOLE NUMBERS
• The result of adding numbers is called
the sum
• The plus sign (+) indicates addition
• Numbers can be added in any order
PROPERTIES OF ADDITION
• Commutative property of addition:
– Numbers can be added in any order
– Example: 2 + 4 + 3 = 3 + 4 + 2
• Associative property of addition:
– Numbers can be grouped in any way and
the sum is the same
– Example: (2 + 4) + 3 = 2 + (4 + 3)
PROCEDURE FOR ADDING
WHOLE NUMBERS
• Example: Add 763 + 619
– Align numbers to be added as shown;
line up digits that hold the same place
value
– Add digits holding the same place
value, starting on the right, 9 + 3 = 12
– Write 2 in the units place value and
carry the one
PROCEDURE FOR ADDING
WHOLE NUMBERS
– Continue adding from right to
left
– Therefore,
763 + 619 = 1,382
SUBTRACTION OF WHOLE
NUMBERS
• Subtraction is the operation which
determines the difference between two
quantities
• It is the inverse or opposite of addition
• The minus sign (–) indicates subtraction
SUBTRACTION OF WHOLE
NUMBERS
• The quantity subtracted is called the
subtrahend
• The quantity from which the subtrahend
is subtracted is called the minuend
• The result is the difference
PROCEDURE FOR SUBTRACTING
WHOLE NUMBERS
• Example: Subtract 917 – 523
– Align digits that hold the same
place value
Do the operation in
21 ×3 – 28 ÷ 7 parentheses first (15 + 6 = 21)
Multiply and divide next (21
63 – 4 ×3 = 63) and (28 ÷ 7 = 4)
63 – 4 = 59 Subtract last
– Therefore: (15 + 6) ×3 – 28 ÷ 7 = 59
PRACTICAL PROBLEMS
• A 5-floor apartment building has 8 electrical
circuits per apartment. There are 6
apartments per floor. How many electrical
circuits are there in the building?
PRACTICAL PROBLEMS
• Multiply the number of apartments per
floor times the number of electrical outlets
