• 2 occurs at the thousands place, because it is 2000 + 457.
• 4 occurs at the hundredths place, because it is also 2000 + 400 + 57
• 5 occurs at the tenths place and 7 occurs at the ones place, because it is 2000 + 400 + 50 + 7

Therefore in the number 53,

The place value of 5 is tenths and 3 is ones because it is 50 + 3 = 53
