Technical Specifications
Our converter follows these precise rules for number conversion:
- Numbers from 0 to 99 are written out in full
- Hyphens connect tens and units (e.g., twenty-one)
- Commas separate thousands, millions, etc.
- "And" is used to connect whole numbers and decimals
- Decimal fractions are converted to their fractional equivalents
- Negative numbers are prefixed with "negative"
- Currency amounts use the proper singular/plural forms
Did you know? The word "and" is only used in numbers to separate whole numbers from decimals (e.g., "one hundred and twenty-three" is incorrect, while "one hundred twenty-three and forty-five hundredths" is correct). Our converter follows this strict grammatical rule.
