Example
Writing the number 5,608 in expanded form means we write out the number as a sum of whole thousands, whole hundreds, whole tens, and ones. You see all of it right from the number:
- It has 5 thousand = 5,000
- It has 6 hundred = 600
- It has 0 tens = 0
- It has 8 ones = 8
Now we write it as a sum: 5000 + 600 + 8
