To compare the ten thousands place and the thousands place in the number 777,777:
- The ten thousands place is represented by the digit 7 in the 70,000 place.
- The thousands place is represented by the digit 7 in the 7,000 place.
Now let's look at the values:
- Ten thousands place: 70,000
- Thousands place: 7,000
