How the Number to Words Converter works

Cardinal mode writes the number the way you would say it, with hyphens in compound numbers such as forty-two. Ordinal mode gives first, second, twenty-third and so on. Currency mode splits the number into the main unit and the minor unit for US dollars, British pounds, euros or Indian rupees.

The British option inserts and after hundreds, as in one hundred and five. Numbers up to the decillions are supported using exact integer arithmetic, so large values are never rounded. Put several numbers on separate lines to convert them in one go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are decimals written?

In cardinal mode digits after the point are read one by one, so 3.14 becomes three point one four. In currency mode the first two decimals become the minor unit, such as cents.

Does it support commas and currency symbols?

Yes. Commas, spaces, underscores and dollar signs are ignored, so you can paste a number as it appears on an invoice.

What is the largest number it handles?

Up to one less than a duodecillion, which is a 36 digit number. Larger inputs show a clear message instead of a wrong answer.
