Understanding Cardinal Numbers to Words Conversion

What are Cardinal Numbers?

Cardinal numbers are the basic counting numbers used to indicate quantity. They answer the question "How many?" and are represented by whole numbers or integers.

Converting Numbers to Words

Converting numbers to words involves breaking down the number into its place values and translating each part into its word equivalent. This process follows these general steps:

1. Break the number into groups of three digits (thousands, millions, billions, etc.)
2. Convert each three-digit group into words
3. Add the appropriate scale word (thousand, million, billion, etc.)
4. Combine all parts to form the complete word representation

Example Calculation

Let's convert the number 1,234,567 to words:

1. Break into groups: 1 | 234 | 567
2. Convert each group:
   • 1 → one
   • 234 → two hundred thirty-four
   • 567 → five hundred sixty-seven
3. Add scale words:
   • 1 → one million
   • 234 → two hundred thirty-four thousand
   • 567 → five hundred sixty-seven
4. Combine: one million two hundred thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-seven
