Numbers use the same value as lower numbers, with high values placed in front, in some cases separated by commas.

The numbers from 1 to 20 :

1 one

2 two

3 three

4 four

5 five

6 six

7 seven

10 ten

11 eleven

12 twelve

13 thirteen

14 fourteen

15 fifteen

16 sixteen

17 seventeen

18 eighteen

19 nineteen

20 twenty

The numbers from 20 to 100 use the numbers 1 to 9, preceded by a tens number

30 thirty (31 thirty-one, 32 thirty-two, etc.)

40 forty (41 forty-one, 42 forty-two, etc.)

50 fifty

60 sixty

70 seventy

80 eighty

90 ninety

100 one hundred

The numbers from 101 to 999 put a hundreds value (one hundred, two hundred) in front of the last two digits as above :

101 one hundred one

111 one hundred eleven

121 one hundred twenty-one

201 two hundred one

211 two hundred eleven

221 two hundred twenty-one

441 four hundred forty-one

999 nine hundred ninety-nine

1000 one thousand

The numbers from 1001 to 999999 put a thousand value (one thousand, two thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand) in front of the last three digits as above :

(*a comma may be used for the thousands, and for groups of three digits to make their values more clearly seen: 1,000 = 1000 and 1,000,000 = 1000000)

1001 one thousand one (one thousand and one)

1011 one thousand eleven

1111 one thousand one hundred eleven

2001 two thousand one (two thousand and one)

2011 two thousand eleven

2111 two thousand one hundred eleven

10001 ten thousand one (ten thousand and one)

10011 ten thousand eleven

10111 ten thousand one hundred eleven

11111 eleven thousand one hundred eleven

20111 twenty thousand one hundred eleven

(*a comma may be used to separate thousands in name as well )

111111 (111,111) one hundred eleven thousand, one hundred eleven

222222 (222,222) two hundred twenty-two thousand, two hundred twenty-two

999999 nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine

1000000 one million

The numbers above 1 million use the same groups of 1 to 999 as used for the thousands, and each succeeding value (million, billion, trillion, and so forth) uses the same three-digit number name, followed by the larger value.

1,100,101 one million, one hundred thousand, one hundred and one

1,100,111 one million, one hundred thousand, one hundred and eleven

10,100,101 ten million, one hundred thousand, one hundred and one

10,100,111 ten million, one hundred thousand, one hundred and eleven

100,100,101

one hundred million, one hundred thousand, one hundred and one

111,111,111

one hundred eleven million, one hundred eleven thousand, one hundred and eleven

999,999,999

nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine

1,000,000,000 one billion (US short scale)

and further

999,999,999,999 is nine hundred ninety-nine billion, nine hundred ninety-nine million, nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine

1,000,000,000,000 one trillion (US short scale)
