| Digit 2 PV = 0 × 10 = | 0 |
| Digit 3 PV = 7 × 100 = | 700 |
| Digit 4 PV = 4 × 1000 = | 4000 |
| Digit 5 PV = 6 × 10000 = | 60000 |
| Digit 6 PV = 8 × 100000 = | 800000 |
| Digit 7 PV = 4 × 1000000 = | 4000000 |
| Digit 8 PV = 2 × 10000000 = | 20000000 |
Therefore, the number 24864701 can be decomposed as (1 × 1) + (0 × 10) + (7 × 100) + (4 × 1000) + (6 × 10000) + (8 × 100000) + (4 × 1000000) + (2 × 10000000), which is equal to 1 + 700 + 4000 + 60000 + 800000 + 4000000 + 20000000. There are 8 place values in every 8 digit number, and any number from 0 to 9 can be the digits. There is only one exception. If the leftmost place value (Ten Million / Crores) is zero, then it becomes a 7-digit number. If the digits in 24864701 are rearranged to place the zero on the extreme left, the number becomes 04864721, in which case it becomes a 7-digit number 4864721.
