1The cardinal numbers are used in simple counting or in answer to "how many?" The words for these numbers may be used as nouns (he counted to twelve), as pronouns (twelve were found), or as adjectives (twelve boys).
2In formal contexts the numbers one to one hundred and in less formal contexts the numbers one to nine are commonly written out, while larger numbers are given in numerals. In nearly all contexts a number occurring at the beginning of a sentence is usually written out. Except in very formal contexts numerals are invariably used for dates. Hindu-Arabic numbers from 1,000 to 9,999 are often written without commas or spaces (1000, 9999). Year numbers are always written without commas (1783).
3The Roman numerals are written either in capitals or in lowercase letters.
4The ordinal numbers are used to show the order of succession in which such items as names, objects, and periods of time are considered (the twelfth month; the fourth row of seats; the 18th century).
5Each of the terms for the ordinal numbers excepting first and second is used in designating one of a number of parts into which a whole may be divided (a fourth; a sixth; a tenth) and as the denominator in fractions designating the number of such parts constituting a certain portion of a whole one fourth; three fifths). When used as nouns the fractions are usually written as two words, although they are regularly hyphenated as adjectives (a two-thirds majority). When fractions are written in numerals, the cardinal symbols are used (1/4, 3/5, 5/6).
6The Hindu-Arabic symbols for the cardinal numbers may be read as ordinals in certain contexts (January 1 = January first; 2 Samuel = Second Samuel). The Roman numerals are sometimes read as ordinals (Henry IV = Henry the Fourth); sometimes they are written with the ordinal suffixes (XIXth Dynasty).

1The American system of numeration for denominations above one million was modeled on the French system but more recently the French system has been changed to correspond to the German and British systems. In the American system each of the denominations above 1,000 millions (the American billion) is 1,000 times the preceding one (one trillion = 1,000 billions; one quadrillion = 1,000 trillions). In the British system the first denomination above 1,000 millions (the British milliard) is 1,000 times the preceding one, but each of the denominations above 1,000 milliards (the British billion) is 1,000,000 times the preceding one (one trillion = 1,000,000 billions; one quadrillion = 1,000,000 trillions).
2For convenience in reading large numerals, the thousands, millions, etc., are usually separated by commas (21,530; 1,155,465) or especially in technical contexts by spaces (1 155 465). Serial numbers (as social security numbers are usually written with hyphens (042-24-4705).
