LARGE NUMBERS

Tens and units are always separated by a hyphen.

Eg. 32: thirty-two

You must write “and” after hundreds

Eg. 156: one hundred and fifty-six

Use a comma after thousands and millions

Eg. 3,879: three thousand, eight hundred and seventy-nine

10,658: ten thousand, six hundred and fifty-eight

2,531,799: two million, five hundred and thirty-one thousand, seven


hundred and ninety-nine

When there are no hundreds after millions or thousands use


“and” before tens or units

Eg. 9,071: nine thousand and seventy-one

28,005. Twenty-eight thousand and five

491,006: four hundred and ninety-one thousand and six

26,000,025: twenty-six million and 25

3,000,007: three million and seven
