About 2400

2400 is a natural and even number. An even number gives zero as a remainder or divisible by 2.One-digit even numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Other numbers ending with any of them are also even numbers.

A number whose remainder will be zero when divided by another number, including 1 and itself, is called a composite number. For example, 15 can be divided by 1, itself (15), 3, and 5 and the remainder will be zero. With the following definition, we can say, 2400 is also a composite number.

2400 is divisible by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, etc. Divisibility is defined when we divide a number by another number such that the remainder comes to be zero. For example, if we divide 21 by 3, the remainder will be zero. Hence, we can say that 21 is divisible by 3.

The place value of each digit in 2400.

The place value specifies a digit’s position in a number. Take an example of the number 278 such that ‘2’, ‘7’ and ‘8’ have different positions, i.e., they have different place values. ‘2’ has the place value of ‘hundreds’, ‘7’ has the place value of ‘tens’, and ‘8’ has the place value of ‘ones’.

For numbers with more than three digits, we have thousand, ten thousand, etc. to denote the place values of each digit in a number. The below table represents the various place values:

Therefore, for the number 2400, we have the following place values:

How to write 2400 in words?

The number 2400 can be written in words with the help of place values described above. From the table, it is evident that ‘2’ is in the ‘thousand’ place, ‘4’ has the ‘hundred’ place, and ‘0s’ are in the ‘tens’ and ‘ones’ places.

Therefore, the expansion of the number 2400 is:

\begin{aligned}

&2 \times \text { Thousand }+4 \times \text { Hundred } + 0 \times \text { Ten }+0 \times \text { One } \\

&=2 \times 1000+4 \times 100 + 0 \times 10 + 0 \times 1 \\

&=2400 \\

&=\text {Two Thousand Four Hundred }

\end{aligned}
