Expanded notation is a way to write a number as the
sum of the value of each digit based on its place value.
Multiply each digit by its place value.
The value of the 1 in the hundreds place is 1 × 100.
The value of the 1 in the tens place is 1 × 10.
The value of the 8 in the ones place is 8 × 1.
The value of the 4 in the tenths place is 4 × .
The value of the 4 in the hundredths place is 4 × .
The value of the 6 in the thousandths place is 6 × .
So, the number in expanded notation is
1 × 100 + 1 × 10 + 8 × 1 + 4 × + 4 × + 6 × .
First, multiply.
2 × 100 = 200
8 × 10 = 80
6 × 1 = 6
9 × = 0.9
2 × = 0.02
8 × = 0.008
Then, add.
200 + 80 + 6 + 0.9 + 0.02 + 0.008 = 286.928
