Question

How do you write 256,304 in word form?

Answer 1

Hint:
We are given the number. We have to write the number in word form. First, we will determine whether the number given is written in Indian system or international system. Then, according to the system we will write the number in word form.

Complete step by step solution:
We are given the number 256,304.

First, we will determine the system in which number is given, by understanding the place at which comma is put.
In Indian system, the comma is inserted after the hundred and then it is inserted after every two digits.
In the International system, commas are inserted after every three digits.
The place value in Indian system is given by:
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, Crores etc.
The place value in International system is given by:
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Hundred Thousand, Millions, Ten Million etc.
Now, in the given number 256,304 the comma is placed after three digits and then there is no comma which means the number is represented in the International number system.

Thus, the number in word form can be written as:

2	5	6	3	0	4
Hundred Thousand	Ten Thousand	Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones

Hence, the number in word form is two hundred fifty six thousand three hundred four.

Note:
The students please note that in such types of questions we need to check the place value and understand it. The place value of ones can be only one digit. The digits are from zero to nine. Similarly, the ten’s place holds the numbers with two digits from 10 to 19 and so on.
