Number names are a way of expressing the written form of numbers using letters. Learning number names will help you learn the basics of counting, addressing parcels, official documents, and so on. In this topic, we will learn number names from 150 to 200.
These are the words that we use to represent numbers, making them easier to read. Take the number 175, it is written as ‘One Hundred Seventy-Five’. Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it also helps a student's spelling skills.
There are two different ways of naming numbers: the Indian Numbering System and the International Numbering System. Understanding how numbers are named using both numbering systems will help 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, continuing to grow as the number increases.
For example, in the number 186, the digit 6 is in the ones place, 8 is in the tens place, and 1 is in the hundreds place.
Starting from the right, the order goes from ones to 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 an example of the number 9,56,28,743:
The 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 names that differ for larger 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 743,856,269:
The 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 150 to 200 using a chart will make it easy for students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 150 to 200 The list given below shows how numbers from 150 to 200 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 150 to 200, 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 150 to 199. For example, 175 is written as One Hundred Seventy-Five.
Rule 2: For numbers starting with 200, use “Two Hundred.” For example, 201 is written as “Two Hundred One.”
Rule 3: Numbers after 150 follow a pattern. For example, 165 is written as One Hundred Sixty-Five, 188 is written as One Hundred Eighty-Eight, and 192 is written as One Hundred Ninety-Two.
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 165, and 178. It should be written as One Hundred Sixty-Five and One Hundred Seventy-Eight.
Always keep writing the numbers with ‘Hundred’, as in One Hundred for 150 and Two Hundred for 200.
Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 160, 170, 180, etc.
After writing One Hundred, you just need to add the number, that's it. The mentioned numbers can be written as One Hundred Sixty, One Hundred Seventy, and One Hundred Eighty.
Students can make mistakes while learning number names. Let’s discuss a few mistakes a student can make while writing numbers from 150 to 200.
What is the sum of 25 + 150 in words?
One Hundred Seventy-Five
First, we need to find the sum 25 + 150.
The sum is 175 → 25 + 150 = 175.
We write 175 in words as One Hundred Seventy-Five.
What is the difference of 200 - 40 in words?
One Hundred Sixty
We need to find the difference between 200 and 40.
The difference is 160 → 200 - 40 = 160.
Therefore, we write the answer as One Hundred Sixty.
Find the product of 25 and 6. Write the result in words
One Hundred Fifty
The product is 150 → 25 × 6 = 150.
Hence, 150 in words is One Hundred Fifty.
What is (200 ÷ 4) + 120 in words?
