Number Names 111 to 120

These are the words we use to represent numbers, which makes them easier to read.
Take the number 115 — it is written as ‘One Hundred 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:

• The Indian Numbering System

• The International Numbering System

Understanding how numbers are named using both systems helps in clear communication and improves arithmetic skills.

Now, let’s discuss these 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

• Ten Thousands

• Lakhs

• Ten Lakhs

• Crores

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

Example: In the number 118,

• 8 is in the ones place

• 1 is in the tens place

• 1 is in the hundreds place

Let’s take another example: 9,11,16,743
This number is written as:
Nine Crore Eleven Lakhs Sixteen Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three

Digit placement:

• 9 in the crores place

• 1 in the ten lakhs place

• 1 in the lakhs place

• 1 in the ten thousands place

• 6 in the thousands place

• 7 in the hundreds place

• 4 in the tens place

• 3 in the ones place

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses names, and 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

• Ten Millions

• Hundred Millions

• (and so on)

Example: Let’s take the number 743,811,219
It is written as:
Seven Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Eleven Thousand Two Hundred Nineteen

Digit placement:

• 7 in the Hundred Million place

• 4 in the Ten Million place

• 3 in the Million place

• 8 in the Hundred Thousand place

• 1 in the Ten Thousand place

• 1 in the Thousand place

• 2 in the Hundreds place

• 1 in the Tens place

• 9 in the Ones place
