Number Names 400 to 500

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.
Take the number 450, it is written as ‘Four Hundred Fifty’.

Writing numbers in words not only helps us:

• write legal documents

• fill forms

• but it also helps a student's spelling skills as well.

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

• 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

• thousands

• ten thousands

• lakhs

• ten lakhs

• crores

As the number increases, the place value continues to grow.

For example, in the number 486:

• 6 is in the ones place

• 8 is in the tens place

• 4 is in the hundreds place

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

Let’s take another example: 7,56,28,943
This number is written as:
Seven Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Three

The number gets placed as:

• 7 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

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses place names, but they 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: 843,956,729
This number is written as:
Eight Hundred Forty-Three Million Nine Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Nine

The number gets placed as:

• 8 in the Hundred Million place

• 4 in the Ten Million place

• 3 in the Million place

• 9 in the Hundred Thousands place

• 5 in the Ten Thousands place

• 6 in the Thousands place

• 7 in the Hundreds place

• 2 in the Tens place

• 9 in the Ones place
