The answer lies in breaking the number into its place values. Let’s look into how we represent 439 in its place values with the help of a place value chart. So for 439, we split the number into hundreds, tens, and ones. 4 represents the hundreds place, 3 represents the tens place, and 9 represents the ones place.

Step 1: Begin with the leftmost digit, and assign each digit a place value as you move from left to right. For 439, we start from hundreds, tens, and then the ones place.
