MCA Math Vocabulary 4th Grade Practice Test

Any of the symbols used to write numbers (0-9)?

Digit Decimal Numeral Character

Correct Answer:

Digit

Explanation:

In our decimal system, the symbols used to write numbers 0 through 9 are called digits. Each digit is one of those ten symbols, and they can be combined to form bigger numbers, with place value showing thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones (for example, in 2,439 the digits are 2, 4, 3, and 9). A decimal point isn’t a digit; it separates whole numbers from fractions. A numeral is any symbol or group that represents a number, and a character is any symbol at all, so they’re not as precise for this specific idea. So the best term for those symbols is digits.
