What are Number Names?

[Click Here for Sample Questions]

Number names are simply expressions of numbers in the form of words. Numbers in words can be expressed for all the natural numbers by first knowing the value of digits as ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, lakhs, and so on. Thus, to express numbers in words, it is important to check the digit’s place value.

  • Number name helps to express numbers in words. For example, the number 52 can be expressed as Fifty-Two.
  • Number names helps to express mathematical names into english spellings.
  • Simply, the alphabetical form of numbers can be defined as Number words.

Example of Number Names

Some examples of Number Names include:

  • 413 = 400 + 10 + 3
  • 215 = 200 + 10 + 5
  • 128 = 100 + 20 + 8

Number Names Rules 1 to 50

[Click Here for Sample Questions]

RULE 1: Understanding the position of the digit. The positional value of the digit will tell you how the digit should be spelt. Positions of the digits can be as follows: 

  • 1 – Ones
  • 10 – Tens
  • 100 – Hundreds
  • 1000 – Thousands

RULE 2: Number names from 1-20 follow a different pattern. Numbers after 20 follow a repeated pattern. For example: - 9 = Nine; 12 = Twelve and on the other hand 21 = Twenty-One; 37 = Thirty-Seven.

RULE 3: In order to easily understand the writing of the number names, expanding the numbers or breaking the numbers can be done. For example: if you have to express 23 in words then you can also write it as 20 + 3 = Twenty + Three. But this is the case only with numbers after 20 to 99.

Forming Numbers

In forming numbers from given digits, the conditions under which the numbers are to be formed are satisfied. Thus, to form the greatest four-digit number from 7, 8, 3, and 5 without repeating a single digit, we need to use all four digits, the greatest number can have only 8 as the leftmost digit.

The smallest four-digit number is 1000 (one thousand). It follows the largest three-digit number 999. Similarly, the smallest five-digit number is 10,000. It is ten thousand and follows the largest four-digit number 9999. Further, the smallest six-digit number is 100,000. It is one lakh and follows the largest five-digit number 99,999. This carries on for higher digit numbers in a similar manner.

Remember kilo shows 1000 times larger, Centi shows 100 times smaller and the milli shows 1000 times smaller, thus, 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, 1 meter = 100 centimeters or 1000 millimeters, etc.

Ans. a) 31+27 

= 58, Fifty-Eight

b) 20+18

= 20+18 = 38, Thirty-Eight

Ques. Expand the following terms and write in words. (3 marks)
a) 27
b) 49

Ques. In one state, the number of bicycles sold in the year 2002-2003 was 7,43,000. In the year 2003-2004, the number of bicycles sold was 8,00,100. In which year were more bicycles sold? And how many more? (3 marks)

Ans. Clearly, 8,00,100 is more than 7,43,000. 

So, in that state, more bicycles were sold in the year 2003-2004 than in 2002-2003.

Now, 800,100 – 743,000 = 57,100

Around 57,100 bicycles were sold.

Ans. The number names from 11 to 15 are:

  1. 11 = Eleven
  2. 12 = Twelve
  3. 13 = Thirteen
  4. 14 = Fourteen
  5. 15 = Fifteen

Ques. The number of sheets of paper available for making notebooks is 75,000. Each sheet makes 8 pages of a notebook. Each notebook contains 200 pages. How many notebooks can be made from the paper available? (3 marks)

Ans. Each sheet makes 8 pages.

Hence, 75,000 sheets make 8 × 75,000 pages,

Now, 75000 × 8 = 600000

Thus, 6,00,000 pages are available for making notebooks.

Now, 200 pages make 1 notebook.

Hence, 6,00,000 pages make 6,00,000 ÷ 200 notebooks

The answer is 3,000 notebooks.
