NUMBERS

1 - One
10 - Ten
100 - One hundred
1,000 - One thousand
10,000 - Ten thousand
100,000 - One hundred thousand
1,000,000 - One million
10,000,000 - Ten million
100,000,000 - One hundred million
1,000,000,000 - One billion
Take a look at the commas (,). They come after every three places. The
commas make it easier to read large numbers such as millions and billions.
Also, whenever you see one of those commas, you know you are reaching a
new level of counting. Starting with hundreds you move to thousands, then
millions, then billions. Trillions and quadrillions come next, but you won't use
them often. Not all countries use commas. European countries use dots
between each of the three numbers. It's a little different, but you'll see the
same pattern.

Looking at the Words

We're not going to drag this out. Writing out numbers is a long process that is
tedious. You will just need to practice, practice, and practice. You already know
the basics and you will just add even larger numbers to the words now.

Examples:
3 - Three
23 - Twenty-three
423 - Four hundred twenty-three (you could already do this)
1,423 - One thousand four hundred twenty-three (1 and 423)

7,423 - Seven thousand four hundred twenty-three (7 and 423)

37,423 - Thirty-seven thousand four hundred twenty-three (37 and 423)
637,423 - Six hundred thirty-seven thousand four hundred twenty-three (637
and 423)
5,637,423 - Five million six hundred thirty-seven thousand four hundred
twenty-three (5 and 637 and 423)

Ugh. It gets a little long writing it out. You get the idea. Right? (1) Counting and
naming starts over again after every comma. (2) Numbers between one (1) and
ninety-nine (99) often use a dash between the numbers. (3) No commas when
you write it out with words.

Once again, practice is the way to learn about naming numbers. When you
move forward in math, no one is going to ask you to write out the full names of
15 digit numbers. That's why we have digits in the first place. It makes writing
numbers a lot easier.
