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 121 to 130.

Number Names 121 to 130

These are the words that we use to represent numbers, which makes it easier to read.
Take the number 125; it is written as ‘One Hundred Twenty-Five’.

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

  • 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, and hundreds, and continue to grow as the number increases.

For example, in the number 126:

  • 6 is in the ones place

  • 2 is in the tens place

  • 1 is in the hundreds place

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

Each digit has its value based on its position in the number.

Let’s take an example of the number 9,56,28,743
This number is written as:
Nine Crore Fifty-Six Lakhs Twenty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Forty-Three

The number is placed as:

  • 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 place values that start from the right.
However, the names for bigger numbers differ.

The place values in the International System are:
Ones → Tens → Hundreds → Thousands → Ten Thousands → Hundred Thousands → Millions → Ten Millions → Hundred Millions, and so on.

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

The number is placed as:

  • 7 in the Hundred Million place

  • 4 in the Ten Million place

  • 3 in the Million place

  • 8 in the Hundred Thousands place

  • 5 in the Ten Thousands place

  • 6 in the Thousands place

  • 2 in the Hundreds place

  • 6 in the Tens place

  • 9 in the Ones place
