Our number system is called “Base -10.” Each place can have one digit. 9 is the greatest digit.
You can build any number using the 1-digit numbers!
Because our number system is base-10, each place is 10 times the value of the place to its right.
Knowing this makes multiplying and dividing big numbers much easier!
