2 When you say or write in words a number over 100, you put 'and' before the number expressed by the last two figures.

Example:

203:
two hundred and three.
2840
: two thousand, eight hundred and forty.

Four hundred and eighteen men were killed and a hundred and seventeen wounded.

'And" is often omitted in American English:

... one hundred fifty dollars.



3 If you want to say or write in words a number between 1000 and 1,000,000, there are various ways of doing it.

Example: 1872

- eighteen hundred and seventy two

- one thousand eight hundred and seventy-two 
you cannot use 'a' instead of 'one' here
- one eight seven two  a room number, a telephone number
- eighteen seventy-two



4 When numbers over 9999 are written in figures, a comma is usually put after the fourth figure from the end, the seventh figure from the end, and so on, dividing the figures into groups of three.

Example: 15,000, 1,982,000

With numbers between 1000 and 9999, a comma is
sometimes put after the first figure.

Example: 1,526.

When a number contains a full stop, the number or numbers after the full stop indicate a fraction.

Example: 2.5 is  two and a half.
