Place value, simply put, means that a number represents different amounts depending on where it stands in a row. For example, the number "2" is just two ones in the ones place, but two hundreds in the hundreds place. This is the basic principle in math of using digits and place values to represent numbers, and it's the rule behind the decimal system used worldwide and the binary system used in computers.
