How to convert numbers to words?

It is important to know the names of the place values for converting numbers to words. The first ten place values are

One, Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand, Lakh, Ten Lakh, crore, and Ten crore.  

Following are the steps. 

1. Write the place values.
2. Start placing digits under the place values in descending order from one to ten to hundred and so on.
3. After that, write the numbers in English words with the place values.

“And” is placed before the last one or two place values, depending on the number. If there is zero under Ten and some digit under One, “and” is placed before the word form of One’s value.  

Example:

Write the following numbers in words.

12009
3000
21901

Solution:

1. Twelve thousand and nine.

For the same type of place values like thousand and ten thousand, lakh and ten lakh, write as shown. There is 0 under hundred and ten so no need to write anything for these values.

2. Three thousand. 
3. Twenty-one thousand nine hundred and eleven.
