Arrange the following numbers in descending order:

84627, 8467, 846720, 84672. Also, identify the smallest and largest number.

First we count the number of digits :

846720 → 6 digits, 84627 → 5 digits, 84672 → 5 digits, 8467 → 4 digits.

The 6-digit number 846720 is the largest and the 4-digit number 8467 is the smallest. Among the two 5-digit numbers, 84672 > 84627.

Arranging in descending (largest to smallest) order :

846720, 84672, 84627, 8467.

Hence, descending order is 846720, 84672, 84627, 8467; smallest = 8467 and largest = 846720.
