The suffix -th added to an integer indicates either the ordinal for a number, or when preceeded by another number means "fractional parts" such that there are that integral number of equal parts of a whole.

For example, one hundred is the integer 100. The ordinal is hundredth. One hundredth is 1/100th or 0.01 of a whole or total. The specific ordinals for numbers 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, and 12 are second, third (rd), fifth, eighth, ninth, and twelfth. The ordinal for 1/2 is half. Forming ordinals for numbers ending in Y replaces the Y with an I (e.g. 20 = twentieth).
