- (a) Write whole numbers in words.
- (b) Write, in numerical form, whole numbers that are spoken or written in words.
- (a) Write 250,374 in words
- (b) Write, in numerical form: “one million, sixty-five thousand, eight”
(a)
To write: The number in words.
Answer to Problem 1P
The whole number 250,374 is written as “Two hundred fifty thousands, three hundred seventy four”.
Explanation of Solution
The whole number is 250,374 .
The count of digit places in the number is 6.
4 stands at ones place, 7 stands at tens place, 3 stands at hundreds place, 0 stands in thousands place, 5 stands in ten thousands place and 2 stands in hundred thousands place.
The digits before comma can be written as “Two hundred fifty” and digits after comma can be written as “Three hundred seventy four”.
However, the digits before comma are in thousands range; hence is written as “Two hundred fifty thousands”.
On joining, the number becomes “Two hundred fifty thousands, three hundred seventy four”.
Therefore, the whole number 250,374 is written as “Two hundred fifty thousands, three hundred seventy four”.
(b)
To write: The words in numerical form.
Answer to Problem 1P
The words “One million, sixty-five thousand, eight” in numerical form is 1,065,008.

“One million” in numerical form becomes
“Sixty-five thousand” in numerical form becomes 65,000.
