Standard, expanded, and word form
Standard form uses digits, expanded form shows place values, and word form names the number. All three forms should represent exactly the same quantity, including any empty places.
A method you can use
- Make a place-value chart for thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
- Write each nonzero place as a value in expanded form.
- Read the number in words and convert it back to digits to check.
