Number names are a way of expressing the written form of numbers using letters. Learning number names will help you learn the basics of counting, addressing parcels, official documents, and so on. In this topic, we will learn number names from 1000 to 2000.

Number Names 1000 to 2000

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes them easier to read. Take the number 1500; it is written as ‘One Thousand Five Hundred’. Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it also helps improve a student's spelling skills.

There are two different ways of naming numbers: the Indian Numbering System and the International Numbering System. You need to understand how numbers are named using both numbering systems. This will help you in communication as well as in arithmetic calculations.

Now, let’s discuss the two numbering systems.

Indian Numbering System

In the Indian Numbering System, digits are assigned place values starting from the right. These place values include ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, and continue to grow as the number increases. For example, in the number 1860, the digit 0 is in the ones place, 6 is in the tens place, 8 is in the hundreds place, and 1 is in the thousands place.

Starting from the right, the order goes from ones to tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, lakhs, ten lakhs, and crores. Each digit has its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take an example of the number 19,56,28,743. The number gets written as Nineteen Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three. The number gets placed as:
1 in the ten crores place
9 in the crores place
5 in the ten lakhs place
6 in the lakhs place
2 in the ten thousands place
8 in the thousands place
7 in the hundreds place
4 in the tens place
3 in the ones place

International Numbering System

Just like the Indian Numbering System, the International Numbering System also uses names, and they differ for bigger numbers. The place value starts from the right. The place values are ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, hundred thousands, millions, ten millions, hundred millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 1,743,856,269. The number is written as One Billion Seven Hundred Forty-Three Million Eight Hundred Fifty-Six Thousand Two Hundred Sixty-Nine.

The number gets placed as:
1 in the Billion place
7 in the Hundred Million place
4 in the Ten Million place
3 in the Million place
8 in the Hundred Thousand place
5 in the Ten Thousand place
6 in the Thousand place
2 in the Hundred place
6 in the Ten place
9 in the One place
