Write 2,468 in expanded form
1 Put the digits in the chart
Each digit has a place.
2 Find the value of each digit
The 2 is 2 thousands.
That is 2,000.
The 4 is 4 hundreds.
That is 400.
The 6 is 6 tens.
That is 60.
The 8 is 8 ones.
That is 8.
3 Write it as a sum
Expanded form means we write the value of each digit, with + between them.
2,468 = 2,000 + 400 + 60 + 8
4 Check
We add them back: 2,000 and 400 and 60 and 8 make 2,468.
Yes!
It works.
2,000 + 400 + 60 + 8 = 2,468
Let's look back.
First: put the digits in the chart.
Then: find the value of each digit.
Then: write it as a sum.
Last: check.
Answer
2,468 = 2,000 + 400 + 60 + 8
