When we use ten symbols \(0\), \(1\), \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\), \(6\), \(7\), \(8\) and \(9\) to represent any numbers, these ten symbols are called Digits or Figures.
The Face Value of a digit in a number is equal to the same digit itself.
Face value of \(4\) in number \(34872\) is \(4\).
The Place Value of a digit depends upon its position in the number.
\(Place \; Value = Face \; Value \times Value \; of \; Place\)
Place Value of \(4\) in number \(34872\) is calculated as:
\(4 \times 1000 = 4000\)
