Question

What is the greatest 3 digit even number?

Answer 1

Hint: Here in this question, we have to write the greatest even number, the number should be 3 digits. We should know about the numbers and by knowing the place value system we write the number. By using the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.

Complete step by step solution:
In mathematics we have different kinds of numbers namely, natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and real numbers.
Natural numbers are defined as counting numbers.
Whole numbers are defined as the counting numbers and along with it 0.
Integers are defined as positive and negative numbers of whole numbers.
Rational numbers are defined as the numbers is in the form of \[\dfrac{p}{q}\]
Irrational numbers are defined as the numbers which are not rational.
Real numbers are defined as the combination of integers and rational numbers.
The place value system for 3 digits is defined by

hundred	ten	ones
100	10	1

Consider the Whole numbers from 0 to 9
The even numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
The odd numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
The greatest even number is 8 so we place 8 in the one place, in the tens place we place 9 and in hundred places we place 9.
Therefore the greatest 3 digit even number is 998.
So, the correct answer is “998”.

Note: In mathematics we have different kinds of numbers, here while writing the number we choose the numbers which belong to the whole numbers, here we can’t take the numbers from the natural numbers because the natural numbers does not include 0. While writing the digits we need the number 0.
