Write the name of the period that has the digits 913.

Answer

The correct answer is: the ones (units) period.

Explanation and steps:

  1. Definition of a period: In place-value notation, digits are grouped into periods of three (starting from the right). The standard period names from right to left are:
  • Ones (units) period — rightmost three digits
  • Thousands period — next three digits to the left
  • Millions period — the next three digits
  • Billions period — next three, and so on.
  1. How to decide: Find the group of three digits and see where it sits from the right end of the whole number. The rightmost group is the ones period; the second group from the right is the thousands period; the third is the millions period.
  1. Apply to 913:
  • If the group “913” is the rightmost (end) group of the number (for example: 12,345,913), then 913 is in the ones (units) period.
  • If the group “913” appears as the second group from the right (for example: 913,245), then 913 would be in the thousands period (meaning 913 thousand).
  • If it appears as the third group from the right (for example: 1,913,000,000), it would be in the millions period, etc.

Examples:

  • 913 → 913 is the ones period.
  • 913,245 → the left group 913 is the thousands period (913 thousands).
  • 12,345,913 → the rightmost 913 is the ones period (913 units).

Summary:
By default, when you see the digits 913 as the rightmost three-digit group, the period name is ones (units). If those three digits occur in other group positions, their period name changes accordingly (thousands, millions, etc.).
