Our numeric system is positional, meaning that each digit has a different value, depending on the position it is.
So, starting from the left, we have the digit of units, then the tens, the hundred, the thousand...Each time you go a digit to the left, the value increases by a scale of ten.
In formula, the coefficient of the n-th digit from the right is [tex] 10^{n-1} [/tex]
In your case, the 3's are in the fourth and fifth position, which means that the 3 in fourth position is worth
[tex] 3 \times 10^{4-1} = 3 \times 10^3 = 3000 [/tex]
whereas the 3 in fifth position is worth
[tex] 3 \times 10^{5-1} = 3 \times 10^4 = 30000 [/tex]
The first 3 represents 30,000 while the second 3 represents 3000.
Thus the value represented by the first 3 is 10 times the value represented by the second 3.
