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 1 to 100,000.

Number Names 1 to 100,000

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.
Take the number 15,000; it is written as ‘Fifteen Thousand’.

Writing numbers in words not only helps us write legal documents and fill forms, but it also improves a student's spelling skills.

There are two different ways of naming numbers:

  1. Indian Numbering System

  2. 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 18,645, the digit 5 is in the ones place, 4 is in the tens place, 6 is in the hundreds place, 8 is in the thousands place, and 1 is in the ten thousands place.

Starting from the right, the order goes:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Lakhs → Ten Lakhs → Crores

Each digit will have its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take an example of the number 98,765.
The number is written as:
Ninety-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Sixty-Five

The number gets placed as:
9 in the Ten Thousands place
8 in the Thousands place
7 in the Hundreds place
6 in the Tens place
5 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, Ten Thousands, Hundred Thousands, Millions, Ten Millions, Hundred Millions, and so on.

Let’s take the example of 123,456.
The number is written as:
One Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Fifty-Six

The number gets placed as:
1 in the Hundred Thousands place
2 in the Ten Thousands place
3 in the Thousands place
4 in the Hundreds place
5 in the Tens place
6 in the Ones place
