These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.
Take the number 75, it is written as ‘Seventy-Five’.
Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms,
but it also helps a student's spelling skill as well.
There are two different ways of naming numbers:
the Indian Numbering System and the International Numbering System.
Understanding how numbers are named using both numbering systems
will assist in communication as well as 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 73, the digit 3 is in the ones place, and 7 is in the tens place.
Starting from the right, the order goes from:
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 62,743
The number is written as Sixty-Two Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three
The number gets placed as:
6 in the ten thousands place
2 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 74,365,269.
The number is written as:
Seventy-Four Million Three Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine
The number gets placed as:
7 in the Ten Million place
4 in the Million place
3 in the Hundred Thousands place
6 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 61 to 80 using a chart will make it easy for students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 61 to 80 The list given below shows how numbers from 61 to 80 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 61 to 80, there are certain rules to be followed. Below are some rules to keep in mind while writing the names of numbers.
Rule 1: Always start naming with the tens place for any number from 61 to 79.
For example, 70 is written as Seventy.
Rule 2: For numbers starting with 80, use “Eighty.”
For example, 81 is written as “Eighty-One.”
Rule 3: Numbers after 60 follow a pattern.
For example:
65 is written as Sixty-Five
78 is written as Seventy-Eight
72 is written as Seventy-Two
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 65 and 78. It should be written as Sixty-Five and Seventy-Eight. Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 70, 72, 74, etc. After writing the tens place name, you just need to add the number in the ones place. For example, 70 is written as Seventy, 72 is written as Seventy-Two, and 74 is written as Seventy-Four.
