Answer: 50,000 + 600 + 70 + 9, or, which is equivalent, 5×10,000 + 6×100 + 7×10 + 9; either is considered in expanded form.
Explanation:
The expanded form of a number is the same number written as the sum of each digit according to its place value.
I will explain you in detail using your number: 50,679.
i) The digit 5 is in the then thousands place, the 0 is in the thousands place, the 6 is in the hundreds place, the 7 is in the tens place, and the 9 is in the ones place.
ii) So:
5 represents 50,000, or 5 ×10,000;
6 represents 600, or 6×100;
7 represents 70, or 7×10; and
9 represents 9, or 9×1.
ii) Then, the expanded form is the representation of the number as the sum of those values, which is:
50,000 + 600 + 70 + 9, or
5×10,000 + 6×100 + 7×10 + 9×1.
