You can learn French numbers just by knowing how they work. The first thing, and the most difficult, is to know the numbers from zero to twenty:

0 zéro - 1 un - 2 deux - 3 trois - 4 quatre - 5 cinq - 6 six - 7 sept - 8 huit - 9 neuf - 10 dix - 11 onze - 12 douze - 13 treize - 14 quatorze - 15 quinze - 16 seize - 17 dix-sept - 18 dix-huit - 19 dix-neuf - 20 vingt.

Then learn the tens up to 100:

0 zéro - 10 dix - 20 vingt - 30 trente - 40 quarante - 50 cinquante - 60 soixante - 70 soixante-dix - 80 quatre-vingts - 90 quatre-vingt-dix - 100 cent.

Once you know them, you can combine them to count up to the million!

examples in the 1-100 range:

21 vingt et un - 23 vingt-trois - 35 trente-cinq - 40 quarante - 42 quarante-deux - 64 soixante-quatre - 70 soixante-dix - 72 soixante-douze -75 soixante-quinze - 79 soixante dix-neuf - 85 quatre-vingt-cinq - 91 quatre-vingt-onze - 92 quatre-vingt-douze - 93 quatre-vingt-treize - 94 quatre-vingt-quatorze - 95 quatre-vingt-quinze - 96 quatre-vingt-seize- 99 quatre-vingt dix-neuf -

...

numbers from 100 up to 2000 are written just as the first 100 ones, with just 'cent', 'deux cent', 'trois cent', 'quatre cent', 'mille', 'mille cent' etc., written in front.

examples in the 100-2000 range: 501 = cinq cent un, 601 = six cent un, 701 = sept cent un; 512 = cinq cent douze, 612 = six cent douze, 1612 = mille six cent douze, 1993 = mille neuf cent quatre vingt treize, 2000 = deux mille.
