526 To read the line of figures in this table, begin with the left nànd figure, and proceed as follows:

RULE FOR READING WHOLE NUMBERS.

Find out the place of each figure by the Table, and to the simple value of each figure join the name of its place, beginning at the left hand, and reading towards the right. To read large numbers they are divided into periods of three figures each, as the following.

5th Period

or Period

of Trillions.
4th Period

or Period

of Billions.

3d Period

or Period
of Millions.

2d Period
or Period
of Thousands.

1st Period
or Period
of Units.

912, 761, 257, 327, 826.

OBS. This character, 0, called naught, or cipher, expresses nothing
itself-it stands only to occupy a place, where no value is to be expressed
For example, in the number 240, there are no units; therefore a ciphe
stands in the units' place. In the number 407, there are no tens; there
fore a cipher stands in the tens' place, and the 0 removes the 4 one plac
farther from units' place.
