Number Names 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.

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 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

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 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

Tips and Tricks for Number Names 51 to 60

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.

After writing Fifty, you just need to add the number, that's it.

The mentioned numbers can be written as Fifty-Two, Fifty-Four, and Fifty-Six.

Ignoring the Hyphen

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Ignoring hyphens while writing numbers like 55 and 58 will consider the number as separate numbers. For example, 55 should be written as Fifty-Five and not Fifty Five.

Mistake 2

Writing Sixty Zero instead of Sixty

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Students might get confused between Sixty Zero and Sixty for 60. The correct way to express 60 in words is Sixty. There’s no need to write zero after sixty.

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, 51 is written as Fifty-One. But in American English, we do not use ‘and’. The number 51 in American English is simply written as Fifty-One. Always make sure that students are aware of the difference.

Mistake 4

Incorrect spelling

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

While writing the number names, be sure that you have written it correctly. For example, a child can write Fifty-Five and Fivety-Five.

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 54 and 45. In 54, we have 4 in the ones place and 5 in the tens place. In 45, we have 5 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.
