Number names are a way of expressing the written form of numbers using letters. Learning number names will help you learn the basics of counting, addressing parcels, official documents, and so on. In this topic, we will learn number names from 60 to 70.
These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read. Take the number 65, it is written as ‘Sixty-Five’. Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it also improves a student's spelling skills. There are two different ways of naming numbers: the Indian Numbering System and the International Numbering System. You need to understand how numbers are named using both numbering systems. This will help you in communication as well as in arithmetic calculations. Now, let’s discuss the two numbering systems.
In the Indian Numbering System, digits are assigned place values starting from the right. These place values include ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and continue to grow as the number increases. For example, in the number 68, the digit 8 is in the ones place, and 6 is in the tens place. Starting from the right, the order goes from ones to tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores. Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number. Let’s take an example of the number 9,56,68 The number gets written as Nine Lakhs Fifty-Six Thousand Sixty-Eight. The number gets placed as: 9 in the lakhs place 5 in the ten thousands place 6 in the thousands place 6 in the tens place 8 in the ones place
Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses names, and they differ for bigger numbers. The place value starts from the right. The place values are one, tens, hundreds, thousands, hundred thousands, millions, ten millions, hundred millions, and so on. Let’s take the example of 6843569, The number is written as Six Million Eight Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Nine The number gets placed as: 6 in the Million place 8 in the Hundred Thousands place 4 in the Ten Thousands place 3 in the Thousands place 5 in the Hundreds place 6 in the Tens place 9 in the Ones place
Learning the names of the numbers from 60 to 70 using a chart will make it easy for students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 60 to 70 The list given below shows how numbers from 60 to 70 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 60 to 70, there are certain rules to be followed. Below are some rules to keep in mind while writing the names of numbers. Rule 1: Always start naming with ‘Sixty’ for any number from 60 to 69. For example, 65 is written as Sixty-Five. Rule 2: For the number 70, use “Seventy.” For example, 70 is written as “Seventy.” Rule 3: Numbers after 60 follow a pattern. For example, 64 is written as Sixty-Four, 67 is written as Sixty-Seven, and 69 is written as Sixty-Nine.
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 64 and 68. It should be written as Sixty-Four and Sixty-Eight. Always keep writing the numbers with ‘Sixty’, as in Sixty for 60 and Seventy for 70. Always focus on the ones place for numbers like 61, 62, 63, etc. After writing Sixty, you just need to add the number, that's it. The mentioned numbers can be written as Sixty-One, Sixty-Two, and Sixty-Three.
