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 71 to 100.
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 improve a student's spelling skills.
There are two different ways of naming numbers:
Indian Numbering System
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 86, the digit 6 is in the ones place, and 8 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 9,56,287.
The number is written as:
Nine Lakh Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Seven
The number gets placed as:
9 in the Lakhs place
5 in the Ten Thousands place
6 in the Thousands place
2 in the Hundreds place
8 in the Tens place
7 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, Ten 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 71 to 100 using a chart will make it easy for the students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 71 to 100 The list given below shows how numbers from 71 to 100 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 71 to 100, 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 the tens for any number from 71 to 99. For example, 75 is written as Seventy-Five.
Rule 2: For numbers starting with 100, use “One Hundred.” For example, 101 is written as “One Hundred One.”
Rule 3: Numbers after 70 follow a pattern. For example, 85 is written as Eighty-Five, 98 is written as Ninety-Eight, and 72 is written as Seventy-Two.
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 85 and 78. It should be written as Eighty-Five and Seventy-Eight. Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 80, 90, 100, etc. After writing the tens part, you just need to add the number, that's it. The mentioned numbers can be written as Eighty, Ninety, and One Hundred.
Students can make mistakes while learning number names. Let’s discuss a few mistakes a student can make while writing numbers from 71 to 100.
What is the sum of 28 + 45 in words?
