Number Names 21 to 50

These are the words we use to represent numbers, making them easier to read and understand.
Take the number 25 — it is written as ‘Twenty-Five’.

Writing numbers in words not only helps us with legal documents and form-filling, but it also improves a student's spelling skills.

There are two main ways of naming numbers:

• Indian Numbering System

• International Numbering System

Understanding how numbers are named in both systems will help in communication and arithmetic calculations.
Let’s now explore both numbering systems.

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are assigned place values starting from the right.
These include ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and continue to grow as the number increases.

For example, in the number 46,

• 6 is in the ones place

• 4 is in the tens place

The full order of place values is:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores

Each digit gets its value based on its position.

Let’s take the number 48,273.
It is written in words as: Forty-Eight Thousand Two Hundred Seventy-Three

Its place value breakdown is:

• 4 in the ten thousands place

• 8 in the thousands place

• 2 in the hundreds place

• 7 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 bigger 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. The number is written as Seven Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Eight Hundred Fifty-Six. The number gets placed as: 7 in the Hundred Thousands place 4 in the Ten Thousands place 3 in the Thousands place 8 in the Hundreds place 5 in the Tens place 6 in the Ones place
