We will place the largest digit ($7$) in the largest valued column (ten-thousands). Next, we will place the largest digit ($7$) in the second largest valued column (thousands). Next, we will place the largest digit ($7$) in the third largest valued column (hundreds). Next we will place the second largest digit ($6$) in the fourth largest valued column (tens). Finally, we will place the third largest digit ($2$) in the fifth largest valued column (ones). $77762$ Separate each group of three digits with a comma. $77,762$
