38000 in Words

Before we learn more about 38000 in words, let’s first understand a few basic rules. Always spell out numbers in the beginning of the sentence instead of writing the numeral. Another thing to remember is when we write fractions, we must always use a hyphen for the fractions (e.g., one-third). The same goes for all compound numbers like twenty-one or fifty-six. These are some basic rules, one must always keep in mind when writing numbers in words.

Writing numbers in words is essential when filling official documents or checks. But how do we write a number like 38000 in words? The answer lies in breaking the number into its place values. Let’s look into how we represent 38000 in its place values with the help of a place value chart.

So for 38000, we split the number into thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
 

38 represents the thousands in place and the zeros represent the hundreds, tens, and ones respectively.

Step 1: Begin with the leftmost digit, and assign each digit a place value as you move from left to right. For 38000, we start from thousands, hundreds, tens and then the ones place.

Step 2: Next, combine the values from each place and then read the values loud. In 38000, we can see that the number consists of 0 ‘ones’, 0 ‘tens’, 0 ‘hundreds’ and 38 ‘thousands’. 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 “thirty-eight thousand”.

Now that we have learned how to express the number 38000 in words. Let us learn more about the properties of the number. 

• Square root: A number that, when multiplied by itself, gives an original number. For example, square root of 36 is ±6, because 6 × 6 = 36

• Place value: The position of the digit in the place value chart. For example, in 38,000, the place value of 3 is thousand.

• Cube root: A number that when multiplied by itself three times gives an original number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2, because 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

• Prime numbers: Any number greater than 1 that has no divisors other than 1 and itself is called a prime number. For example, 2 is a prime number because it is only divisible with 1 and itself. 2/1 = 2 and 2/2= 1

• Composite numbers: A number divisible with divisors other than 1 and itself is what we call a composite number. For example, 6 is a composite number because it is divisible with 1, 2, 3, and 6.
