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 91 to 100.
These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read. Take the number 95, it is written as ‘Ninety-Five’.
Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it also helps 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 96, the digit 6 is in the ones place, and 9 is in the tens place.
Starting from the right, the order goes from ones to tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores.
Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number.
Let’s take an example of the number 9,56,28,743:
The number gets written as Nine Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three.
The number gets placed as:
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 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 743,856,269:
The number is written as Seven Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine.
The number gets placed as:
7 in the Hundred Million place
4 in the Ten Million place
3 in the Million place
8 in the Hundred Thousands place
5 in the Ten Thousands place
6 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 91 to 100 using a chart will make it easy for the students to write the numbers in words. List of Numbers in Words 91 to 100 The list given below shows how numbers from 91 to 100 are written using letters. Learning to write the numbers in words improves their skills in reading and writing.
While writing numbers from 91 to 100, 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 ‘Ninety’ for any number from 90 to 99. For example, 95 is written as Ninety-Five.
Rule 2: For the number 100, use “One Hundred.” For example, 100 is written as “One Hundred.”
Rule 3: Numbers after 90 follow a pattern. For example, 92 is written as Ninety-Two, 97 is written as Ninety-Seven, and 98 is written as Ninety-Eight.
Always use a hyphen while writing numbers like 95 and 98. It should be written as Ninety-Five and Ninety-Eight. Always keep writing the numbers with ‘Ninety’, as in Ninety for 90, and make sure to add the units accordingly for 91 to 99. Always focus on the tens place for numbers like 91, 92, 93, etc. After writing Ninety, you just need to add the number, that's it. The mentioned numbers can be written as Ninety-One, Ninety-Two, and Ninety-Three.
