Number Names 100 to 10000

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, making them easier to read and understand.
For example, the number 1050 is written as ‘One Thousand Fifty’.

Writing numbers in words not only helps with tasks like filling out legal documents and forms but also improves a student’s spelling and number sense.

There are two different ways of naming numbers:

• The Indian Numbering System

• The International Numbering System

Understanding both systems is important, as it helps with clear communication, especially when reading or writing large numbers, and supports accuracy in arithmetic.

Let’s now take a closer look at each of these numbering systems.

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are given specific place values starting from the right. These place values help us understand the value of each digit in a number. The common place values are:

Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, and Crores.

For example, take the number 1860:

• 0 is in the ones place

• 6 is in the tens place

• 8 is in the hundreds place

• 1 is in the thousands place

Now, let’s look at a bigger number: 9,56,28,743
This is written in words as:
Nine Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three

Here's how the digits are placed:

• 9 in the crores place

• 5 in the ten lakhs place

• 6 in the lakhs place

• 2 in the ten thousands place

• 8 in the thousands place

• 7 in the hundreds place

• 4 in the tens place

• 3 in the ones place

Understanding these place values helps in reading, writing, and performing arithmetic operations correctly using the Indian system.

In the International Numbering System, place values also start from the right, but they differ from the Indian system for larger numbers. The place values grow as follows:

Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of the number 743,856,269.

This number is written in words as:
Seven Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine

Now let’s break it down by place value:

• 7 is in the Hundred Millions place

• 4 is in the Ten Millions place

• 3 is in the Millions place

• 8 is in the Hundred Thousands place

• 5 is in the Ten Thousands place

• 6 is in the Thousands place

• 2 is in the Hundreds place

• 6 is in the Tens place

• 9 is in the Ones place

Understanding the International Numbering System is especially useful in global communication, finance, and when dealing with international data.

Learning the names of the numbers from 100 to 10000 using a chart will make it easy for students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 100 to 10000 The list given below shows how numbers from 100 to 10000 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves skills in reading and writing.

Here’s a clear explanation of the rules to follow when writing number names from 100 to 10,000:

Rule 1: Use “Hundred” for numbers from 100 to 999
When a number is in the hundreds range, start naming it with the hundreds digit followed by the word “Hundred.”

• Example:

  • 150 → One Hundred Fifty

  • 375 → Three Hundred Seventy-Five

Rule 2: Use “Thousand” for numbers from 1000 onwards
When a number crosses 1000, start with the thousands digit(s), followed by the rest of the number.

• Example:

  • 1001 → One Thousand One

  • 1025 → One Thousand Twenty-Five

Rule 3: Recognize and follow the number pattern
Larger numbers still follow the place value pattern of thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.

• Example:

  • 1450 → One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty

  • 1680 → One Thousand Six Hundred Eighty

  • 1720 → One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty

Understanding these rules helps in accurately writing and reading number names, especially when working with forms, documents, or math problems.

Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 1455 and 1788. It should be written as One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Five and One Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-Eight. Always keep writing the numbers with ‘Hundred’ and ‘Thousand’, as in One Hundred for 100 and One Thousand for 1000. Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 1100, 1200, 1300, etc. After writing One Thousand, you just need to add the number. These numbers can be written as One Thousand One Hundred, One Thousand Two Hundred, and One Thousand Three Hundred.

• Place Value: The value of a digit based on its position within a given number. For example, in 1234, we place 4 in the ones place, 3 in the tens place, 2 in the hundreds place, and 1 in the thousands place.

• Number Form: It is the numerical form of a number written in words. For example, the number form of One Thousand Three Hundred Forty is 1340.

• Indian Numbering System: A system used in India to write numbers, where place values for larger numbers include lakhs and crores instead of millions and billions.

• International Numbering System: The Western system used to write numbers, where the place values for larger numbers are different. For example, instead of writing lakhs and crores, we use million, ten million, hundred million, and so on.

• Hyphen: A punctuation mark used to join words and separate syllables of a single word. In number names, it connects parts of compound numbers, like Twenty-One or Ninety-Five.
