    Cardinal numbers

    In the following tables, and indicates that the word and is used in some dialects (such as British English), and omitted in other dialects (such as American English).

    Small numbers
    This table demonstrates the standard English construction of small cardinal numbers up to ten million -- names for which all variants of English agree.


    top

    English names for powers of 10
    This table compares the English names of cardinal numbers according to various American, British, and Continental European conventions. See names of numbers in English or English-language numerals for more information on naming numbers.

    Gillion system
    As proposed by Russ Rowlett, based on Greek-derived numerical prefixes:

    Myriad system
    Proposed by Donald E. Knuth:

    Googol and others

    Fraction (mathematics)|Fractional numbers
    This is a table of English names for positive rational numbers less than 1. It also lists alternative names, but there is no widespread convention for the names of extremely small positive numbers.

    Keep in mind that rational numbers like 0.12 can be represented in infinitely many ways, e.g. zero-point-one-two (0.12), twelve percent (12%), three twenty-fifths left(
    ight), nine seventy-fifths left(
    ight), six fiftieths left(
    ight), twelve hundredths left(
    ight), twenty-four two-hundredths left(
    ight), etc.
