Referring to the diagram to the right, the value of each decimal digit consists of the value (placeholder) multiplied by the corresponding power of 10. For example, '''units''' are '''10<sup>0</sup>''', '''tens''' are '''10<sup>1</sup>''', '''hundred''' are '''10<sup>2</sup>''' which move in a '''right-to-left''' direction.
