Writing the given numbers in the Indian place value chart:

PlacesCroresTen LakhsLakhsTen ThousandsThousandsHundredsTensOnes
3695136951
3714037140
723891723891
732142732142
57189015718901
3740137401

Out of the given numbers, three are 5-digit, two are 6-digit and one is 7-digit.

7-digit number i.e. 5718901 is the largest.

For the 6-digit numbers 723891 and 732142:

Comparing them: lakhs 7 = 7, ten thousands 2 < 3. So 732142 > 723891.

For the 5-digit numbers 36951, 37140 and 37401:

Comparing 36951 and 37140: ten thousands 3 = 3, thousands 6 < 7. So 36951 < 37140.

Comparing 37140 and 37401: ten thousands 3 = 3, thousands 7 = 7, hundreds 1 < 4. So 37140 < 37401.

So among the 5-digit numbers, 37401 is largest, then 37140, then 36951.

Hence, the descending order is: 5718901 > 732142 > 723891 > 37401 > 37140 > 36951.
