How it works
- Type a number in the converter to see how it is spelled.
- For a worksheet, choose the range and the task: digits to words, words to digits, or mixed.
- Choose US style (one hundred twenty) or UK style (one hundred and twenty), then print.
Hyphens and “and”
Numbers from 21 to 99 take a hyphen: twenty-one, forty-five, ninety-nine. In American English the hundreds run straight on (three hundred forty-two); in British English an “and” comes before the tens (three hundred and forty-two).
Big numbers
Big numbers are read in groups of three digits: 4,302,015 is four million three hundred two thousand fifteen. Saying each group as if it stood alone, then adding million or thousand, is the easiest way to write them.
