Students while writing numbers in words tend to make some common errors. Here is a list of common errors made by students and the ways to avoid them.
Spelling mistakes
Students tend to make spelling mistakes always, so to avoid it, try to memorize them. Some common spelling mistakes for the word thousand are thosand, thousand, etc.
Formatting errors
Mixing up numbers and words is also a common mistake. For example one apple and 2 chocolate, instead, we should write 1 apple and 2 chocolate.
Using unnecessary hyphens
Adding hyphens in between is another mistake children tend to make again. Hyphens are only used while writing compound numbers.
Incorrect use of the word ‘and’
Adding ‘and’ after writing a place value is a mistake. But in American English, when we write numbers in words, we won't add and. In British English, it is written as two hundred and ten, whereas in American English it is written as two hundred ten
Incorrect use of capitalization
When writing numbers in words, there is no need to add writing in capital letters unless it is at the beginning of a sentence.


The number 8 is spelled as eight.
The first five multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40.
The product of two numbers is the result of multiplying the numbers. The product of 8 and 15 are 120 → 8 × 15 = 120
The number 8 is evenly divisible by 2, so 8 is an even number.
The difference between 16 and 8 means subtracting 16 from 8. So, the difference is 8
→ 16 - 8 = 8
