Rules to Write Numbers from 1 to 40 Spelling

Certain rules can be followed while writing the spelling of numbers from 1 to 40. These rules are explained here in detail.

Rule 1: Understand place values: We can express the positional value of digits in a number depending upon where they are placed. Here's how to distinguish between the first 4 place values based on the position of 1:

1 = the ones place
10 = the tens place
100 = the hundreds place
1000 = the thousands place

Rule 2: For numbers 1-20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, and 1000, we can directly refer to the number names 1 to 40 chart to write their spellings. For example, the number name of 5 is Five, the number name of 14 is Fourteen, the number name of 30 is Thirty, and so on.

Rule 3: To write number names of multiples of 100 between 100 and 1000, we simply write the number name of the digit in the hundreds place and add the word “hundred”. For example, the number name of 500 is Five hundred.

Rule 4: To write number names of other 2 or 3-digit numbers, we write their expanded form. For numbers having (11-19) as their two last digits, we take the ones and tens place as a single unit. We then spell all addends and combine their respective names. For example, 37 = 30 + 7, and 37 in words is written as Thirty-seven.

Example 1: Write in words the value of 87 + 43 - (35 + 57)

Solution:

On simplifying 87 + 43 - (35 + 57) gives:

⇒ 87 + 43 - (35 + 57) = 87 + 43 - 92 = 130 - 92 = 38

Using numbers in words 1 to 40 chart, 38 in words is written as:

⇒ 30 + 8 = Thirty + Eight = Thirty-eight

∴ 87 + 43 - (35 + 57) in words = Thirty-eight
Example 2: What is the Value of One Hundred Thirty-One Minus One Hundred-Eight?

Solution:

In numerals, one hundred thirty-one is written as 131 and one hundred-eight is written as 108. Now, one hundred thirty-one minus one hundred-eight means subtracting 108 from 131, i.e. 131 - 108 = 23. Using number names 1 to 40 chart, 23 in words is written as:

⇒ 20 + 3 = Twenty + Three = Twenty-three.
Example 3: Find the Value of 16 + 21. Write the Answer in Words.

Solution:

On simplifying, 16 + 21 gives 37. And 37 in words is spelled as:

⇒ 30 + 7 = Thirty + Seven = Thirty-seven.
