  1. Place value system: The place value system is a method of representing numbers using a combination of digits and place values. In this system, each digit in a number is assigned a place value, depending on its position in the number. For example, in the number '123', the digit '3' is in the ones place, so it has a place value of one. The digit '2' is in the tens place, so it has a place value of ten. And the digit '1' is in the hundreds place, so it has a place value of hundred. By combining the digits in a number with their respective place values, the place value system allows us to represent large numbers using a relatively small number of digits.
