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 51 to 60.
These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read. Take the number 55; it is written as 'Fifty-Five.' Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it will also help a student's spelling skills 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.
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 58, the digit 8 is in the ones place, and 5 is in the tens place.
Starting from the right, the order goes:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores
Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number.
Let’s take an example of the number 5,62,843.
The number is written as:
Five Lakh Sixty-Two Thousand Eight Hundred Forty-Three
The number gets placed as:
5 in the Lakhs place
6 in the Ten Thousands place
2 in the Thousands place
8 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 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
Learning the names of the numbers from 51 to 60 using a chart will make it easy for the students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 51 to 60 The list given below shows how numbers from 51 to 60 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 51 to 60, 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 with the tens place, 'Fifty,' for any number from 51 to 59. For example, 54 is written as Fifty-Four.
Rule 2: For the number 60, use "Sixty." For example, 60 is written as "Sixty."
Rule 3: Numbers after 50 follow a pattern. For example, 53 is written as Fifty-Three, 57 is written as Fifty-Seven, and 59 is written as Fifty-Nine.
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 53 and 58. It should be written as Fifty-Three and Fifty-Eight. Always keep writing the numbers with 'Fifty,' as in Fifty-One for 51 and Fifty-Nine for 59.
Always focus on the ones place for numbers like 52, 54, 56, etc.
