Number Names 81 to 100

We use number names to represent numbers in words, which makes them easier to read and understand. For example, the number 85 is written as ‘Eighty-Five’. Writing numbers in words not only helps when filling out legal documents and forms, but it also improves a student’s spelling skills.

There are two main ways of naming numbers:

• The Indian Numbering System

• The International Numbering System

It is important to understand both systems, as this knowledge helps in communication and arithmetic calculations.

Now, let’s explore these two numbering systems.

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are assigned place values starting from the right. These place values include ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and they continue to increase as the number grows.

For example, in the number 86,

• 6 is in the ones place

• 8 is in the tens place

The order of place values in this system is:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores

Each digit gets its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take a larger number as an example: 9,56,28,743
This number is written in words as:
Nine Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three

Here’s how each digit is placed:

• 9 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 place names, but they differ for larger numbers.

In this system, the place value starts from the right, and the order is:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Hundred Thousands → Millions → Ten Millions → Hundred Millions, and so on.

Let’s look at an example: 743,856,269
This number is written in words as:
Seven Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine

Here's how the digits are placed:

• 7 in the hundred million place

• 4 in the ten million place

• 3 in the million place

• 8 in the hundred thousand place

• 5 in the ten thousand place

• 6 in the thousand place

• 2 in the hundreds place

• 6 in the tens place

• 9 in the ones place
