This comes down to base systems.

Ones place tells how many ones you have.

Tens place tells how many tens you have.

Hundreds place tells how many hundreds you have.

Thousands place tells how many thousands you have.

So, you can multiply each digit by the place it is in.

307 equals (7×1) + (0x10) + (3×100)

or 7 + 0 + 300

4172 equals (4×1000) + (1×100) + (7×10) + (2×1)

or 4000 + 100 +70 + 2

So:

the 7 in 307 represents (7×1), or 7.

the 7 in 4172 represents (7×10), or 70.

the 7 in 307 is in the units place (the “ones place”), and the 7 in 4172 is in the digits place (the “tens place”).
