so basically what your doing is writting that number in a math problem. So if you have 40,689 it would look like this 40,000+600+80+9
To write a number in expanded form, you need to break it down by its place values.
Let's take the number 26,397 and break it down:
1. Identify the place values: We have thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones places.
2. Start with the highest place value and work your way down:
26,397
2 in the ten thousands place (20,000)
6 in the thousands place (6,000)
3 in the hundreds place (300)
9 in the tens place (90)
7 in the ones place (7)
Now, combine the place values to express the number in expanded form:
20,000 + 6,000 + 300 + 90 + 7 = 26,397
So, the expanded form of the number 26,397 is:
20,000 + 6,000 + 300 + 90 + 7
