Number Names 121 to 130

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.
Take the number 125; it is written as ‘One Hundred Twenty-Five’.

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

• 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, and hundreds, and continue to grow as the number increases.

For example, in the number 126:

• 6 is in the ones place

• 2 is in the tens place

• 1 is in the hundreds place

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

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

Let’s take an example of the number 9,56,28,743
This number is written as:
Nine Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three

The number is placed as:

• 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

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses place values that start from the right.
However, the names for bigger numbers differ.

The place values in the International System are:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Hundred Thousands → Millions → Ten Millions → Hundred Millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 743,856,269
This number is written as:
Seven Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine

The number is placed as:

• 7 in the Hundred Million place

• 4 in the Ten Million place

• 3 in the Million place

• 8 in the Hundred Thousands place

• 5 in the Ten Thousands place

• 6 in the Thousands place

• 2 in the Hundreds place

• 6 in the Tens place

• 9 in the Ones place

Learning the names of the numbers from 121 to 130 using a chart will make it easy for the students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 121 to 130 The list given below shows how numbers from 121 to 130 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.

While writing numbers from 121 to 130, 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 ‘Hundred’ for any number from 100 to 199. For example, 121 is written as One Hundred Twenty-One. Rule 2: Numbers after 100 follow a pattern. For example, 122 is written as One Hundred Twenty-Two, 125 is written as One Hundred Twenty-Five, and 128 is written as One Hundred Twenty-Eight.

Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 125, and 128. It should be written as One Hundred Twenty-Five and One Hundred Twenty-Eight. Always keep writing the numbers with ‘Hundred’, as in One Hundred for 100 and Two Hundred for 200 if applicable. Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 121, 122, 123, etc. After writing One Hundred, you just need to add the number, that's it. The mentioned numbers can be written as One Hundred Twenty-One, One Hundred Twenty-Two, and One Hundred Twenty-Three.

• Place Value: The value of a digit based on its position within a given number. For example, in 123, we place 3 in the ones place, 2 in the tens place, and 1 in the hundreds place.

• Number Form: It is the numerical form of a number written in words. For example, the number form of One Hundred Twenty-Four is 124.

• Hyphen Usage: A hyphen is used in number names between the tens and ones place, such as in Twenty-Five.

• Indian Numbering System: A system where numbers are grouped in terms like lakhs and crores, rather than thousands and millions.

• 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.
