Number Names 201 to 300

We use number names (words) to represent numbers, which makes them easier to read and understand.
For example, the number 250 is written as Two Hundred Fifty.

Writing numbers in words is useful for:

• Filling legal documents and forms

• Improving a student's spelling and number sense

There are two main systems used to name numbers:

1. Indian Numbering System

2. International Numbering System

Understanding both systems is important. It helps in:

• Clear communication

• Performing arithmetic calculations across contexts

Now, let’s explore how each system names numbers.

Indian Numbering System

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are given place values starting from the right.
These place values are:

Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores

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

Let’s understand with a few examples:

• In the number 286:

  • 6 is in the ones place

  • 8 is in the tens place

  • 2 is in the hundreds place

• In the number 9,56,28,943, the number name is:
  Nine Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Three

  Here's the place value alignment:

  • 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

  • 9 in the hundreds place

  • 4 in the tens place

  • 3 in the ones place

International Numbering System

Just like the Indian system, the International Numbering System assigns place values from the right, but uses different groupings for larger numbers.

These place values are:

Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Hundred Thousands → Millions → Ten Millions → Hundred Millions → ...

Each digit’s position determines its value.

Let’s understand with an example:

• For the number 843,856,269, the number name is:
  Eight Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine

  Here's the place value alignment:

  • 8 in the hundred million place

  • 4 in the ten million place

  • 3 in the million place

  • 8 in the hundred thousand place

  • 5 in the ten thousand place

  • 6 in the thousand place

  • 2 in the hundreds place

  • 6 in the tens place

  • 9 in the ones place
