Number Names 1000 to 10000

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes them easier to read. Take the number 1500; it is written as One Thousand Five Hundred.

Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it also helps improve 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, thousands, and continue to grow as the number increases.

For example, in the number 1863:

• 3 is in the ones place,

• 6 is in the tens place,

• 8 is in the hundreds place,

• 1 is in the thousands place.

Starting from the right, the order goes: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores. Each digit has its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take the example of the number 9,56,284.
The number is written as Nine Lakh Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Four.

The digits are placed as:

• 9 in the lakhs place

• 5 in the ten thousands place

• 6 in the thousands place

• 2 in the hundreds place

• 8 in the tens place

• 4 in the ones place

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses names, but they differ for larger numbers. The place value starts from the right.

The place values are: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands, millions, ten millions, hundred millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 7,438,562.
The number is written as Seven Million Four Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Two.

The digits are placed as:

• 7 in the million place

• 4 in the hundred thousand place

• 3 in the ten thousand place

• 8 in the thousand place

• 5 in the hundred place

• 6 in the ten place

• 2 in the one place

Learning the names of the numbers from 1000 to 10000 using a chart will make it easy for students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 1000 to 10000

The list given below shows how numbers from 1000 to 10000 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.

While writing numbers from 1000 to 10000, 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 'Thousand' for any number from 1000 to 9999. For example, 1500 is written as One Thousand Five Hundred.

Rule 2: For numbers starting with 2000, use "Two Thousand." For example, 2001 is written as "Two Thousand One."

Rule 3: Numbers after 1000 follow a pattern. For example, 1450 is written as One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty, 1680 is written as One Thousand Six Hundred Eighty, and 1720 is written as One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty.

Here’s a clearer version of your instructions:

Always use a hyphen when writing numbers like 1450 and 1780. They should be written as One Thousand Four Hundred Fifty and One Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty.

Always include the word ‘Thousand’ when writing numbers like 1000 and 2000, for example, One Thousand and Two Thousand.

For numbers like 1100, 1200, 1300, and so on, focus on the hundreds place. After writing One Thousand, simply add the number in the hundreds place. For example:

• One Thousand One Hundred

• One Thousand Two Hundred

• One Thousand Three Hundred

No additional words or hyphens are needed after the hundreds unless there are tens and ones.

• Place Value: The value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in 2345, 5 is in ones, 4 in tens, 3 in hundreds, and 2 in thousands place.

• Number Form: The numerical form of a number written in words. For example, Three Thousand Four Hundred is 3400.

• International Numbering System: The Western system using place values like million, ten million, hundred million, instead of lakhs and crores.

• Hyphen: A punctuation mark used to join words and separate syllables in compound numbers, like Twenty-One or Ninety-Eight.

• Thousand: A place value representing 10³ or 1000, used in number naming.
