Find the place values. See Example 1.
Consider the number 57,634.

Reference Example 1
Airports Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest airport in the United States, handling 92,389,024 passengers in 2011. (Source: Airports Council International–North America)
a. What is the place value of the digit 3?
b. Which digit tells the number of millions?
Strategy We will begin in the ones column of 92,389,024. Then, moving to the left, we will name each column (ones, tens, hundreds, and so on) until we reach the digit 3. Why It’s easier to remember the names of the columns if you begin with the smallest place value and move to the columns that have larger place values.
The digit 2 is in the millions column.
