Question 1.
What are the smallest and largest 7-digit numbers?
Answer:
The smallest 7 -digit number is 10,00,000 and the largest 7-digit number is 99,99,999.
Reading and Writing of Large Numbers
We study the reading and writing of large numbers in two systems of naming numerals and placing commas
(i) Indian system
(ii) American or International system
In Indian system, we use ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, lakhs, ten lakh, crores and so on. For the ease of writing and reading these large numbers, we place commas.
In Indian system, commas are placed to group the digits in 3-2-2-2-2-…… pattern from right to left (thousands, lakhs, crores, etc.)
e.g. We have a large number: 5080159234
In Indian system, 5080159234 can be written with commas as 5,08,01,59,234 and 5,08,01,59,234 can be read as five arab eight crore one lakh fifty-nine thousand two hundred thirty-four in Indian system.

In American system, we use ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand, millions, ten million and so on. In American system, commas are placed to group the digits uniformly in 3-3-3-3-…..pattern from right to left (thousands, millions, billions, etc.)
e.g. We have a large number : 5080159234
In International system, 5080159234 can be written with commas as 5,080,159,234 and 5,080,159,234 can be read as five billion eighty million one hundred fifty-nine thousands two hundred thirty-four in International system.
The table below shows some numbers according to both the Indian system and the American system (also called the International system) of naming numerals and placing commas

![]()
Question 5.
Compare and write ‘ < ‘, ‘ > ‘ or ‘ = ‘.
(i) 50 thousand ….. 5 lakhs
(ii) 700 lakhs ….. 7 million
(iii) 900 thousands ….. 9 million
(iv) 550 crore ….. 50 billion
Solution:
(i) Here, 50 thousand = 50,000
and 5 lakhs = 5,00,000
∴ 50 thousand < 5 lakhs
(ii) Here, 700 lakhs = 70,000,000 and 7 million = 7,000,000
∴ 700 lakhs > 7 million
(iii) Here, 900 thousand = 900,000
and 9 million = 9,000,000
∴ 900 thousand < 9 million
(iv) Here, 550 crore = 5,500,000,000
and 50 billion = 50,000,000,000
∴ 550 crore < 50 billion

Estimating the Sum or Difference
To estimate or approximate sum or difference of two large numbers, we round up or down each term accordingly to the desired nearest neighbours and then calculate the sum or difference of rounded (or rounded off) terms.
Question 11.
Reema and Seema are estimating the value of a simple expression 2,34,567 + 3,45,678
Reema estimates, ‘The sum of near 5,00,000 and is less than 5,00,000.’
Seema estimates, ‘The sum is near 6,00,000 and is more than 6,00,000.’
(i) Are these estimates correct? Whose estimate is closer to the sum?
(ii) Will the sum be greater than 5,82,000 or less than 5,82,000 ? Why do you think so?
(iii) Will the sum be greater than 5,90,245 or less than 5,90,245 ? Why do you think so?
(iv) The exact value of 2 , 3 4 , 5 6 7 + 3 , 4 5 , 6 7 8 =…..
Answer:
We first round up or down accordingly to the nearest ten thousands.
∴ 2,34,567 is rounded up to 2,40,000 and 3,45,678 is rounded down to 3,40,000.
Now, adding these rounded numbers
2,40,000 + 3,40,000 = 5,80,000
(i) Clearly, this estimated sum is closer to 6,00,00,000 than 5,00,00,000.
∴ Seema’s estimation is correct and closer to the sum.
(ii) Clearly, the sum is less than 5,82,000 because the estimated sum 5,80,000 is less than 5,82,000.
(iii) Clearly, the sum is less than 5,90,245 because the estimated sum 5,80,000 is less than 5,90,245.
(iv) The exact value of 2,34,567 + 3,45,678 is 5,80,245.

Question 12.
Aadil and Aditya are estimating the value of a simple expression 7,89,123-2,34,567
Aadil estimates, ‘The difference is near 6,00,000 and is less than 6,00,000.’
Aditya estimates, ‘The difference is near 5,00,000 and is more than 5,00,000.’
(i) Are these estimates correct? Whose estimate is closer to the difference?
(ii) Will the difference be greater than 5,50,000 or less than 5,50,000 ? Why do you think so?
(iii) Will the difference be greater than 5,52,556 or less than 5,52,556 ? Why do you think so?
(iv) The exact value of 7,89,123-2,34,567 is……
Answer:
We first round up or down accordingly to the nearest ten thousands.
∴ 7,89,123 is rounded up to 7,90,000 and 2,34,567 is rounded down to 2,30,000.
Now, subtracting these rounded numbers
7,90,000 – 2,30,000 = 5,60,000
(i) Clearly, this estimated difference is closer to 6,00,000 than 5,00,000.
∴ Aadil’s estimation is correct and closer to the difference.
(ii) Clearly, the difference is greater than 5,50,000 because the estimated difference 5,60,000 is greater than 5,50,000.
(iii) Clearly, the difference is greater than 5,52,556 because the estimated difference 5,60,000 is greater than 5,52,556.
(iv) The exact value of 7,89,123-2,34,567 is 5,54,556.
Question 13.
Find quick ways to calculate these products.
(I) 4 × 1250 × 25
(ii) 36 × 250
(iii) 20 × 50 × 5
Answer:
(i) We have, 4 × 1250 × 25 = 4 × 1250 × \(\frac{100}{4}\)
= 1250 × 100
= 1,25,000
(ii) We have, 36 × 250 = 36 × \(\frac{1000}{4}\)
= 9000
(iii) We have, 20 × 50 × 5=20 × \(\frac{100}{2}\) × [/latex]\frac{10}{2}[/latex]
= 5 × 100 × 10
= 5000
Question 14.
Can multiplying a 6-digit number with a 3-digit number give a 10-digit number?
Answer:
We know that the multiplication of a m-digit number and a n-digit number will give either (m + n – 1)-digit number or (m + n) – digit number.
Here, m = 6, n = 3
∴ m + n – 1 = 6 + 3 – 1 = 8
and m + n = 6 + 3 = 9
∴ The multiplication of a 6-digit number with a 3-digit number can give either a 8 -digit number or a 9-digit number.
Hence, it cannot give a 10-digit number.
