Need to determine number in expanded form.

To represent a number in expanded form, take the left most number and then add number of zeros equal to number of digits remaining in the right hand side of that number.

Then take another number on the right hand side of first number and repeat the process. do this till there are no numbers left and represent the above set by + sign in between each number.

So in our case first number on left most side is 9 and number of digits remaining in right are 7. So add seven zeros to nine that is 90000000.

After 9 other number is 2. and number of digits number of digits remaining in right are 6. So add six zeros to 2 that is 2000000.

On doing same process for remaining number we get

900000

50000

5000

800

00

7

So expanded form of 92955807 is 90000000 + 2000000 + 900000 + 50000 + 5000 + 800 + 00 + 7.
