Calculate 400 + 6

Step by step

The question

Question: what number is 400 + 6?

1 Put each part in the chart

Here is a place-value chart.

400 is 4 hundreds.

The 4 goes in the hundreds.

6 is 6 ones.

The 6 goes in the ones.

There are no tens.

We write 0 in the tens.

2 Read the number

So the number is 406.

Careful!

Without the 0, the digits move to the wrong places.

The 0 holds the tens place.

3 Check

We split it again: 406 is 400 and 6.

Yes!

It works.

Let's look back.

First: put each part in the chart.

Then: read the number.

Last: check.
