Number Names 1 to 10

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, making them easier to read and understand. For example, the number 5 is written as ‘Five’. Writing numbers in words not only helps when filling out legal documents and forms, but also improves a student’s spelling skills.

There are two main ways of naming numbers:

  1. Indian Numbering System

  2. International Numbering System

Understanding both systems helps in communication and arithmetic calculations, especially when working with large numbers.
Now, let’s explore these two numbering systems.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Indian Numbering System

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are given place values starting from the right. These include ones, tens, hundreds, and then move on to thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores as the number grows.

For example, in the number 8, the digit 8 is in the ones place.

Here’s an example with a larger number: 9,743
This number is written in words as: Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three

The place value of each digit is:

  • 9 in the thousands place

  • 7 in the hundreds place

  • 4 in the tens place

  • 3 in the ones place

Each digit holds a value based on its position in the number.

International Numbering System

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses place value names, but they differ for larger numbers. The place value starts from the right and follows this order: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 6,329
This number is written in words as: Six Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-Nine

The place value of each digit is:

  • 6 in the thousands place

  • 3 in the hundreds place

  • 2 in the tens place

  • 9 in the ones place

Each digit holds a value based on its position, helping us read and understand numbers clearly.
