Step 1: Begin with the leftmost digit, and assign each digit a place value as you move from left to right. For 166, we start from hundreds, tens, and then the ones place.
Step 2: Next, combine the values from each place and then read the values aloud. In 166, we can see that the number consists of 6 ‘ones’, 6 ‘tens’, and 1 ‘hundred’.
Starting from the leftmost value, read the number together from left to right keeping in mind the place values. When we read it out loud, we read it as “one hundred sixty-six”.
