Number Names 30 to 50

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.

Take the number 45, it is written as ‘Forty-Five’.

Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it will also help a student's spelling skill as well.

There are two different ways of naming numbers. They are the Indian Numbering System and 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.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Indian Numbering System

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are assigned place values starting from the right.

These place values include ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands, and continue to grow as the number increases.

For example, in the number 36, the digit 6 is in the ones place, and 3 is in the tens place.

Starting from the right, the order goes from ones to tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores.

Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take an example of the number 47,289

The number gets written as Forty-Seven Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Nine.

The number gets placed as:

  • 4 in the ten thousands place
  • 7 in the thousands place
  • 2 in the hundreds place
  • 8 in the tens place
  • 9 in the ones place
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

International Numbering System

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 6,543,289

The number is written as Six Million Five Hundred Forty-Three Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Nine.

The number gets placed as:
6 in the Million place
5 in the Hundred Thousands place
4 in the Ten Thousands place
3 in the Thousands place
2 in the Hundreds place
8 in the Tens place
9 in the Ones place

Rule 2: Numbers from 40 to 49 start with “Forty.” For example, 42 is written as “Forty-Two.”

 

Rule 3: Numbers are written with a hyphen between the tens and ones places. For example, 37 is written as Thirty-Seven, and 48 is written as Forty-Eight.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Tips and Tricks for Number Names 30 to 50

Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 35 and 48. It should be written as Thirty-Five and Forty-Eight. When writing numbers from 30 to 39, always start with "Thirty." For numbers 40 to 49, start with "Forty."

Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 30, 40, etc. After writing Thirty or Forty, you just need to add the number in the ones place if necessary. The mentioned numbers can be written as Thirty, Forty, etc.

Writing Forty Zero instead of Forty

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Students might get confused between Forty Zero and Forty for 40. The correct way to express 40 in words is Forty. There’s no need to write zero after forty.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Using ‘and’ while writing number names in American English

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

We use ‘and’ while writing number names only in British English. For example, 35 is written as Thirty and Five. But in American English, we do not use ‘and’.

The number 35 in American English is written as Thirty-Five. Always make sure that students are aware of the difference.

Mistake 4

Incorrect spelling

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Getting confused with the tens and ones place

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Students can get confused between numbers like 34 and 43. In 34, we have 4 in the ones place and 3 in the tens place. In 43, we have 3 in the ones place and 4 in the tens place. To avoid these, students need to learn how to pronounce the numbers correctly. Once they learn to pronounce the numbers, they can write the number names correctly.
