Question

Write the numerical for the following number:
Nine thousand eighteen

Answer 1

Hint: Here we are given a number in form of words and we are asked to write that number in numerical form. We know that when a number of one digit is preceded by a thousand, we give it \[{1000^{th}}\] a place in place value system, i.e. we place it after three digits. When a number of one digit is preceded by a hundred, we place it after two digits and the remaining at first two places. Using this we will try to solve the given question.

Complete step-by-step solution:
Here we are given to write “Nine thousand eighteen” in numerical form. We know that when a number of one digit is preceded by a thousand, we place it after three digits. As we have thousand as the last biggest value, we get here that the number is of four digits,we do not have any number to place after it. Here we are given that number as nine. So, we get the numerical form as,
\[9\_\,\_\,\_\]
Now, since we do not have hundred written, we will write the number \[0\] at hundredth place as,
\[90\,\_\,\_\]
Now we have to write eighteen which is of two digits, we write it in the remaining two places as,
\[9018\]
We know that we put comma after first three digits in both Indian and International number system, we write the number as,
\[9,018\].
This is the numerical form of the number “Nine thousand eighteen”.

Note: If we had two digit numbers after a thousand we would have written that number in fifth and sixth place as we wrote eighteen in first and second place. It is always important to put a comma while writing numbers as it helps in reading and counting the digits of the bigger numbers comfortably.
