Ordering Whole Numbers

The set of collection of numbers are called as whole number. The non negative integers, positive integers and all integers are included in whole number. If we want to ordering the whole numbers means use the symbols like <(less than), >(greater than) and =(equals). The position of numbers are used to arrange the whole numbers in desending or ascending order.The whole numbers are combined with integers.

Ordering methods for whole numbers

Ordering methods:

We can ordering the whole numbers by using two ways. They are use a number line and use place value. The whole numbers has negative value also.

Using a number line:

The number line is simple and easy understanding way for ordering the whole numbers.

The whole number is represented by line. First order the numbers using symbols and plotting the numbers on the number line.Plot the least number on left and plot the greatest number on right.

Example for ordering the whole numbers by using number line:

Problem 1: Order the given numbers 560, 525, 532, 518, 546.

Answer:

The whole numbers are arranged as 518, 525, 532, 546,560.

That is 518 < 525 < 532 < 546 < 560.

Using place value:

First counting the integers in number. The place value is evaluated from left to right. Arrange the numbers under one by one and compare the place value.

Example for ordering the whole numbers by using place value:

Problem 2: Order the given whole numbers 1225, 1248, 1260, 1235.

Answer:

12|2|5

12|3|5

12|4|8

12|6|0

The left beginning number is compared and find where the different numbers are present. Here tenth place value is changed.

The ordered whole numbers is 1225, 1235, 1248, 1260.understanding about Algebra.

Excercise problem for ordering the whole numbers:

Problem: Order the whole numbers by using number line and place value.

4526, 4500, 4568, 4532, 4514.

Answer: 4500,4514, 4526, 4532, 4568.
