1.2 Numbers with zeros
The zero in a number plays a very important part in deciding its value.
Four hundred is written:
| H | T | U |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 0 | 0 |
We need to put in the two zeros to show that it is four hundred and not just four.
Six hundred and seven is written:
| H | T | U |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 0 | 7 |
We need the zero to show that there are no tens.
