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.
