Core Formulas

3-Digit Number Building Rule Hundreds + Tens + Ones = Standard Number Look at the first digit of each part. Put them together in order to make the standard number. 4-Digit Number Building Rule Thousands + Hundreds + Tens + Ones = Standard Number Just like with 3-digit numbers, you put the first digit of each part together in order.
