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 500 to 1000.
These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read. Take the number 750, it is written as ‘Seven Hundred Fifty’. Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents, 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 the numbering systems. This will help you 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, and continue to grow as the number increases. For example, in the number 786, the digit 6 is in the ones place, 8 is in the tens place, and 7 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 will have its value based on its position in the number. Let’s take an example of the number 8,56,28,743 The number gets written as Eight Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three. The number gets placed as: 8 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, 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 983745269, The number is written as Nine Hundred Eighty-Three Million Seven Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine The number gets placed as: 9 in the Hundred Million place 8 in the Ten Million place 3 in the Million place 7 in the Hundred Thousands place 4 in the Ten Thousands place 5 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 500 to 1000 using a chart will make it easy for the students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 500 to 1000 The list given below shows how numbers from 500 to 1000 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 500 to 1000, there are certain rules to be followed. Below discussed are some rules to keep in mind while writing the names of numbers. Rule 1: Always start naming with ‘Five Hundred’ for any number from 500 to 599. For example, 550 is written as Five Hundred Fifty. Rule 2: For numbers starting with 600, use “Six Hundred.” For example, 601 is written as “Six Hundred One.” Rule 3: Numbers after 500 follow a pattern. For example, 645 is written as Six Hundred Forty-Five, 768 is written as Seven Hundred Sixty-Eight, and 872 is written as Eight Hundred Seventy-Two.
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 645, and 878. It should be written as Six Hundred Forty-Five and Eight Hundred Seventy-Eight. Always keep writing the numbers with ‘Hundred’, as in Five Hundred for 500 and Ten Hundred for 1000. Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 510, 520, 530, etc. After writing Five Hundred, you just need to add the number, that's it. The mentioned numbers can be written as Five Hundred Ten, Five Hundred Twenty, and Five Hundred Thirty.
