KNOWING OUR NUMBERS(Contd......)

How to form numbers from given digits?

  • To write the greatest number using these digits we place the given digits in ascending order unless there is a Zero.


  • To write the smallest number using these digits we place the given digits in descending order unless there is a Zero.


  • If there is Zero in the given digits then Zero does not come in the first place.


  • In case of greatest Zero will come in the last place and in case of smallest Zero will come in the second place and the rest of digits in ascending order.


Consider any Example to understand this concept.....


Given digits are: 2, 8, 7, 4

Greatest Number = 8742 & Smallest Number = 2478

Given digits are: 2, 0, 5, 8

Greatest Number = 8520


Smallest Number = 2058 (not 0258)
