Before determining the digits, we must first familiarize with the number places of whole numbers and decimals.The number places are as follow in an ascending order: Ones/units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, hundred millions, and so on. For decimals, the number places starts with; tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths, hundred thousandths, and so on.
The number 8 is located in the place value of of hundreds and in terms of place value, it is 1/10 greater that the place value of the number 3 that is located in the thousands place. We know that it is 1/10 since if we divide 1000 by 100, the answer is 10. Hence if we are asked to compare the values in the thousands place and in the tens place, then we can simply divide 1000 by 10 and get the answer 100.
