Which is the correct way to write 507, 021 in expanded form?

500,000 + 7,000 + 20 + 1

Explanation:

When writing numbers in expanded form, you are essentially breaking the number apart so that the value of every individual digit is shown.

Here are some examples of a number and its expanded form:

· 874,923 = 800,000 + 70,000 + 4,000 + 900 + 20 + 3

· 3,905 = 3,000 + 9,000 + 5

· 42,069 = 40,000 + 2,000 + 60 + 9

* note:

if the number you are going to write in expanded form includes a zero (ex: the number 42,069), you do not need to include the zero when writing each digits value. However, if you or your instructor prefers to include the value of zero, you may. To solve this problem, I will not be including the value of zero.

Now that we understand what expanded form is, let's write 507,021 in expanded form.

Start by writing a list for the values of each individual digit:

· 500,000

· 7,000

· 20

· 1

Next, write the numbers so that they show they must be added.

500,000 + 7,000 + 20 + 1

Therefore, the expanded form of 507,021 is 500,000 + 7,000 + 20 + 1.
