Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need to convert numbers to words?
Written numbers are required on checks (to prevent alteration), legal documents, formal contracts, and academic writing. The spelled-out version serves as verification and helps prevent fraud or confusion.
How are decimal numbers written in words?
In standard format, decimals are written as 'point' followed by each digit (e.g., 3.14 = 'three point one four'). For currency, decimals become cents (e.g., $5.25 = 'five dollars and twenty-five cents').
What's the check writing format?
Checks use a specific format: the whole number in words, then 'and XX/100' for cents. For example, $123.45 becomes 'One hundred twenty-three and 45/100 dollars'. This format is standard for US checks.
Does this work for negative numbers?
Yes, negative numbers are prefixed with 'Negative'. For example, -42 becomes 'Negative forty-two'. This is useful for financial documents showing losses or debits.
