In the base 10 number system you have units, tens, hundreds etc...
These can be represented as columns such as:
| 1000 | 100 | 10 | u |
What is the correct mathematical term for these columns?

The term you're probably looking for is "place values." – symplectomorphic Mar 13 '18 at 16:32

Thanks symplectomorphic, but wouldn't that apply more to the values in the columns? What about the column headers themselves - for example is there a word that would describe "100" in this context? – Richard Moore Mar 13 '18 at 17:01
