Expressing Numbers in English

:: If a number is in the range 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, we should write the number as two words separated by a hyphen:

25   twenty-five 57   fifty-seven 89   eighty-nine :: Numbers over 100 are generally written in figures. However if you want to say them aloud or want to write them in words rather than figures you put 'and' in front of the number expressed by the last two figures. For example: 203      two hundred and three             (AmE: two hundred three) 622      six hundred and twenty-two     (AmE: six hundred twenty-two) :: Numbers between 1000 and 1,000,000 is usually said or written in words as: 1,803    one thousand, eight hundred and three           1,963    one thousand, nine hundred and sixty-three    2,840    two thousand, eight hundred and forty

:: Saying years. We normally say a year in two parts. In the case of years ending in "00", we say the second part in "hundred":

1058   ten fifty-eight 1706   seventeen hundred and six (or 'seventeen oh six') 1865   eighteen sixty-five 1900   nineteen hundred
