Calculate 5000 + 60 + 3

Step by step

The question

Question: what number is 5,000 + 60 + 3?

1 Put each part in the chart

Here is a place-value chart.

5,000 is 5 thousands.

The 5 goes in the thousands.

60 is 6 tens.

The 6 goes in the tens.

3 is 3 ones.

The 3 goes in the ones.

There are no hundreds.

We write 0 in the hundreds.

2 Read the number

So the number is 5,063.

Careful!

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

The 0 holds the hundreds place.

3 Check

We split it again: 5,063 is 5,000 and 60 and 3.

Yes!

It works.

Let's look back.

First: put each part in the chart.

Then: read the number.

Last: check.
