Question

Arrange the following numbers in descending order:

5032786, 23794206, 5032790, 23756819, 987876

Answer 1

23794206 and 23756819 are both 8-digit numbers.

Both the numbers have the same digits, namely 2, 3 and 7 at the crores, ten lakhs and lakhs places, respectively. However, the digits at the ten thousands place in 23794206 and 23756819 are 9 and 5, respectively.

Clearly, 9 > 5

∴ 23794206 > 23756819

5032790 and 5032786 are both 7-digit numbers.

Both the numbers have the same digits, namely 5, 0, 3, 2 and 7, at the ten lakhs, lakhs, ten thousands, thousands and hundreds places, respectively. However, the digits at the tens place in 5032790 and 5032786 are 9 and 8, respectively.

Clearly, 9 > 8

∴ 5032790 > 5032786

987876 is a 6-digit number.

The given numbers in descending order are:

23794206 > 23756819 > 5032790 > 5032786 > 987876
