Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the place value of the digit '3' in the number 140,395. The digit '3' is in the tens place, which means its value is 30.
Identify the place value of the digit '3' in the number 241,638. The digit '3' is in the hundreds place, which means its value is 300.
Compare the two values: 30 (from 140,395) and 300 (from 241,638). To determine how many times one value is of the other, divide the larger value by the smaller value.
Set up the division: \( \frac{300}{30} \). This will give the factor by which the value of the digit '3' in 241,638 is greater than the value of the digit '3' in 140,395.
