How do you write five hundred thousent?

Answer 1

If you are asking how to write five hundred thousand it can be written in two different ways depending on the situation and/or context of the text,

Way 1:

The mathematical way to write it is 500000

However many people write it with a space: 500 000because it allows the reader to easily see the amount of units giving it its numerical value.

These two ways are normally used in mathematical or scientific texts such as an experiment write up. Yet, sometimes it is except able to use this notation for texts in humanity subjects e.g 500 000BC, though this is informal and should be avoided in important documents unless used for dates.

Way 2:

The formal way to write it is: Five hundred thousand

This is the acceptable notation for most documents such as novels or in texts regarding geography/history. However please try to avoid this notation in scientific or mathematical circumstances as it is looked down upon and usually not acceptable in maths exams or academic math papers.

Hope this helps!
