The place value of the rst digit on the right is 1. The place value of the second digit from the right is 10. The place value of the third digit from the right is 100 or 10^2. Begin by showing all powers of 10, starting with the highest exponent given. 10 that is left out is expressed as 0 times that power of 10. The babylonians left a space to distinguish that various place values in a numeral from one another. ) + ( i + 1) i.
