How many 8-digit whole numbers are there in the base-10 system?
Answer:
90000000 numbers
- All 8-digit numbers are smaller than any 9-digit numbers. Therefore, all the 8-digit numbers will lie between the largest 9-digit number and the smallest 7-digit number.
- Hence, the total number of 8-digit numbers
= Smallest 9-digit number - Largest 7-digit number - 1
(We need to subtract 1 as both the numbers are not 8-digit numbers, and therefore, should not be counted.)
= 100000000 - 9999999 -1
= 90000000 - Hence, there are a total of 90000000 8-digit numbers in the base-10 system.
