How to Find the Smallest and the Greatest Number of any Digit?

The smallest 2-digit number will become 10 and the largest number will become 99 To make or write the smallest number we write a zero next to one becomes the smallest 2-digit number so on. To write the smallest number, write two zeros next to one, and then it will become the smallest number of three digits. Similarly, if you want to write the smallest number of 4 digits, 5 digits, 6 digits, and 9 digits, after writing one, write zero so many times that the number of digits becomes.


Like the smallest 8-digit number will be 10000000 as it is written 7 times zero after one.


Similarly, you can write the smallest number of any digit to write that number after writing one so much zero should be made that it becomes that number of digits.


Similarly, the Greatest number of any digit can also be written as the Greatest two-digit number is 99 in this you will see that 9 is written 2 times. That is, you can know that to write the largest number as many times as 9 is written then it will become the largest number of that digit e.g. the largest number of 8 digits will be 99999999, it will be the largest number of 8-digit numbers. Now that I understand how to write the smallest number and the largest number.
