Number Names 1 to 25

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.
Take the number 15, it is written as ‘Fifteen’.

Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill out forms, but it also helps improve a student's spelling skills.

There are two different ways of naming numbers:

1. Indian Numbering System

2. 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 18, the digit 8 is in the ones place and 1 is in the tens place.

Starting from the right, the order goes:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores

Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take an example of the number 9,567.
The number is written as:
Nine Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Seven

The number gets placed as:
9 in the Thousands place
5 in the Hundreds place
6 in the Tens place
7 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:
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 4,269.
The number is written as:
Four Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine

The number gets placed as:
4 in the Thousands place
2 in the Hundreds place
6 in the Tens place
9 in the Ones place
