You can express any number as the product of its constituent digits and its corresponding place value. Below are a few examples.
\[\begin{align}
& 8={{10}^{0}}\times 8 \\
& =\text{eight} \\
& 18={{10}^{1}}\times 1+{{10}^{0}}\times 8 \\
& =\text{eighteen} \\
& 180={{10}^{2}}\times 1+{{10}^{1}}\times 8+{{10}^{0}}\times 0 \\
& =\text{one hundred and eight}
\end{align}\]
