Write the largest and smallest 6 digit number.
Answer:
Largest : 999999, Smallest : 100000
- In order to write the smallest 6 digit number, the face value of each digit should be the lowest possible.
- It is the digit 0 whose face value is the smallest. We could have used 0 in place of all 6 digits of the number that we have to write, but that will make the overall value of the number 0 and the number no longer will be of 6 digits.
- Thus, we need to use 1 as the left most digit and 0 as all other digits to write the smallest 6 digit number 100000.
- In order to write the largest 6 digit number, the face value of each digit should be the largest possible.
- It is the digit 9 whose face value is the largest. Let us use 9 in place of all the digits to write the largest 6 digit number 999999.
- Thus, the smallest 6 digit number is 100000 and the largest 6 digit number is 999999.
