Naming rules (short scale)

English generally uses a decimal counting system for natural numbers. The names of the cardinal and ordinal numbers can be constructed from the below tables and a set of combining rules.

Each of the numbers specifically listed has a literal name that can be used on its own.

To name numbers 21 through 99 that are not powers of 10, a power of ten is followed by a single digit number 1-9, and the value is the sum. For example, "42" is "forty two", which places a numeral "4" before a numeral "2" to indicate that the 4 represents "forty", or 4 times 10. "Zero" never combines with other numbers in the naming system, it is only pronounced in the name for 0.

To name numbers 101 through 999 that are not powers of 100, the name of a digit 1-9 is followed by "hundred" (the individual values are multiplied together) to express the first digit, and the rules for smaller numbers are used for the remainder (the values of the hundreds part and the remainder are summed). For example, "642" is "six hundred forty two" and "919" is "nine hundred nineteen".

For larger numbers, each additional numeral at the beginning of the string generally represents another power of ten. Every additional (up to) three digits are grouped using the rules for numbers 1-999, then paired with a multiplier.

So with the multiplier "thousand" for example: 2,001 is "two thousand one" and 1234 is "one thousand two hundred thirty four".

When writing in numerals, to aid comprehension these groups of three digits are typically separated—for example, with a comma in countries where the decimal mark is the period. (To be manipulated by machine, these separators are usually omitted. Lists/columns and tables of numbers may use spatial alignment in addition to or instead of commas.)

Similarly, when writing numbers with words, these groups are written using the rules for 1-999 followed by the multiplier. (Any group that is "000" is neither written in words nor pronounced.) Due to the impractical length, it is uncommon to find numbers with more than a few non-zero digits in words; more often they are simply written using Arabic numerals. Examples:

375,000 has each numeral at the place in the string of numerals that represents its power of ten. Written fully in words ("three-hundred seventy-five thousand"), the group "three-hundred seventy-five" modifies the word "thousand".

Compare 3,750, for which each word representing a numeral is immediately modified by a word representing its power of ten: "three-thousand", "seven-hundred", "fifty".

954,020,672: "nine hundred fifty four million twenty thousand six hundred seventy two" (uncommonly seen due to length)

20,000,000: "twenty million" (commonly seen due to brevity)

Ordinal numbers

When constructing names for ordinal numbers, the ordinal variant given in the charts below is only used for the final word. For example:

fifth
twentieth
twenty fourth (not twentieth fourth)

Ordinal numbers can also be written with Arabic numerals, in which case the last two letters of what would be the final word in the written-out form are appended to the numerals. For example:

1st
2nd
3rd
4th
20th
21st

Systematic variations

The words for numbers less than one hundred are varied as follows: Those not expressible by a single word can when written be joined by a hyphen, as in "six hundred forty-two". In British English, the word "and" is typically inserted before them. (Some speakers of North American English also insert "and", especially when the number is below 20.) Examples:

six hundred and two (instead of "six hundred two")
six hundred and forty-two
two thousand and one
one thousand two hundred and thirty-four
one million and one
six hundred and twenty-two million one thousand and five

As shown on the charts below, there are two systems for the names of multipliers, known as the "long system" and "short system", though the short system is generally now preferred in English, to avoid confusion.

In countries where the comma or middle dot is used as the decimal mark, spaces or periods are used for thousands separators. Some style guides prefer no digits separator for four-digit numbers (1000-9999).

In less formal speech, the names for the numbers 11-99 (except powers of ten) can be combined with "hundred" as an alternative to a longer systematic name using both "thousand" and "hundred". For example "eleven hundred" can replace "one thousand one hundred" but "twenty hundred and two" never replaces "two thousand and two" except poetically.

For large round numbers, familiar multipliers are sometimes repeated instead of using less familiar multipliers. For example, "one billion billion" instead of "one quintillion".

In British English, the phrases "thousand million", "thousand billion", and "thousand trillion" are sometimes used in place of "billion", "trillion", and "quadrillion", respectively.

The determiners a or the can grammatically substitute for "one", as in "a hundred" or "the first thousand"; and "a couple" can be used to mean two (though to some speakers "a couple" means "a few" which could perhaps range from two to five or higher).

The names of non-counting numbers — like in a code or a sequence or a naming scheme as for years or addresses — typically use a form of the "hundreds replace thousands" variation that also drops the "hundreds". Years and addresses are never written with commas as digit separators. For example, the year 1984 is pronounced "nineteen eighty four"; referring to that year with the systematic reading "nineteen hundred eighty four" sounds old-fashioned. Sequence numbers with zero digits have additional variations. More commonly than not, a zero in only the tens place is read as "oh" (as in the letter o), like "nineteen oh four". A zero in the hundreds place triggers use of the systematic name or the "hundreds replacement" variant. Examples:

2001: "two thousand one" or rarely "twenty oh one"
2015: "two thousand fifteen" or very commonly "twenty fifteen"

One complete variation for such non-counting numbers is to read individual digits. Informally, "oh" can once again substitute for zero in this scheme. For example, "1024" could be read "one zero two four" or "one oh two four".

South Asian numbering system

In South Asian varieties of English, the traditional South Asian numbering system is commonly used instead of or alongside the short and long scale. This groups higher digits in pairs instead of triplets.

General rules for very large numbers (short and long scale)

Depending on whether you are using the old European system of powers of a million, or the more current system of powers of a thousand, then the name of a number can be created by extracting the name of the power from this table and then adding -illion to the end. This method should be treated with caution and it is common to find slight spelling variations, normally to aid with the pronunciation of the resulting word. In most situations it is preferable to write numbers such as these using standard form instead of words.^[1]

	Units	Tens	Hundreds
1	un	deci	centi
2	duo	viginti	ducenti
3	tre	triginta	trecenti
4	quattor	quadraginta	quadringenti
5	quinqua	quinquaginta	quingenti
6	sex	sexaginta	sescenti
7	septe	septuaginta	septigenti
8	octo	octoginta	octingenti
9	novem	nonaginta	nongenti

For an example of how this might work consider $10^{762}$ . This can be written as $1000^{254}$ using the modern system. This is then interpreted as ducenti-quinquaginta-quattor-illion using the above table. The hyphens are normally removed leaving one ducentiquinquagintaquattorillion. In the older system it would be written as $1000000^{127}$ and interpreted as one centivigintiseptillion, noting that the ‘e’ from ‘septe’ has been ellided.
