10000 is a number in decimal system,I just kown the last number is the unit ,but how to spell others?


Thanks!

If you are referring to the digits, from right to left, they are:

Ones
Tens
Hundreds
Thousands
Ten thousands
Hundred thousands
Millions
Ten millions
etc.

The number you gave is "ten thousand."

123,456 is "one hundred twenty-three thousand, four hundred fifty-six."

ones=unit's digit? tens=ten's digit?

and why not read 123,456 as 'one hundred (and) twenty-three thousand, four hundred (and) fifty-six' ?

Thanks!

 

[SoothingDave]

Yes, I am speaking of the individual digits. The first is called the "ones" not the "units."

Some people say an "and" where you have shown them. I was taught that this is improper.

Soothing Dave is an AmE speaker.

In BrE, we say 'units', not 'ones', and we read 123,456 as 'one hundred and twenty-three thousand, four hundred and fifty-six'.

Note that there should be a comma in '10,000'.

[strike]and[/strike] Why not read 123,456 as 'one hundred (and) twenty-three thousand, four hundred (and) fifty-six'?

Thanks!

In BrE, we always include the "and".

In AmE, many do (without the ands).

The following section comes from other web page，so should it be tens place , ten's place or ten's digit？Thanks！
In the number 386 for example, the number 6 is the "unit's digit" (in the "unit's place"), 8 is the "ten's digit" (in the "ten's place"), and 3 is the "hundred's digit."

 

[SoothingDave]

Either way is fine.

In the number 386 for example, the number 6 is the "unit's digit" (in the "unit's place"), 8 is the "ten's digit" (in the "ten's place"), and 3 is the "hundred's digit."

I wouldn't use "digit" or "place". I would describe 386 as six units, eight tens and three hundreds. Failing that, I might say "... a six in the units column, an eight in the tens column and a three in the hundreds column".

Hello,

Is it wrong to use the plural "s" if one is to read it as "..twenty-three thousands, four hundreds.."?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is incorrect.
