Breaking It Down with a Place Value Chart
The easiest way to write 34700 in words is with a place value chart. Think of it as a pirate map showing where each digit hides. For 34700, we have five digits: 3, 4, 7, 0, 0. Each has a special spot, starting from the right.
Here’s the chart (picture a vibrant, colorful grid with each box holding a digit):
| Ten Thousands | Thousands | Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 3 | 4 | 7 | 0 | 0 |
This chart shows the expanded form, like unfolding the number. For 34700, it’s:
3 ten thousands + 4 thousands + 7 hundreds + 0 tens + 0 ones.
In numbers, that’s:
3 × 10000 + 4 × 1000 + 7 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 0 × 1
= 30000 + 4000 + 700 + 0 + 0 = 34700.
To write it in words:
“Thirty Thousand” for the 30000,
“Four Thousand” for the 4000,
“Seven Hundred” for the 700,
Skip the zeros since they add nothing.
Combine the thousands: 30 + 4 = 34, so Thirty-Four Thousand + Seven Hundred = Thirty-Four Thousand Seven Hundred! Easy, right?
A Simpler Way to Understand
If charts feel a bit puzzling, try this: start from the left.
The 3 and 4 together form 34 in the ten thousands and thousands places → “Thirty-Four Thousand.”
The 7 is in the hundreds place → “Seven Hundred.”
The last two digits, 00, mean no tens or ones.
It’s like saying, “Thirty-Four Thousand Seven Hundred, and that’s it!”
Try it with a small number like 34 (“Thirty-Four”) to get the hang of it!
A Fun Way to Build the Words
Let’s make it a game, like building a tower:
3 is “Three.”
Add a zero for 34: “Thirty-Four.”
Add another for 340: “Three Hundred Forty.”
Another for 3400: “Three Thousand Four Hundred.”
One more for 34000, then add 700 for 34700: “Thirty-Four Thousand Seven Hundred.”
It’s like growing a tree from a tiny sprout! Try this with another number, like your favorite score in a game—it’s so much fun.
