Ascending and Descending Orders

Ascending Order

Ascending order means from smallest to largest.

1. Write 329, 646, 256 in ascending order.

Let us observe the digits in hundreds places.

329, 646, 256
These are 3, 6 and 2.

Let us arrange them in ascending order.

We get: 2, 3, 6

Smallest is 2, so the smallest numeral is 256.

Next is 3 so the next numeral is 329.

Greatest is 6 so the next numeral is 646.

We observe that 256 < 329 < 646.

The ascending order is: 256, 329, 646.
