Why can't everything be in standard form (not that I don't like expanded form)?

you have to learn the differentskills for life

Why don’t you write a comma after like 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 or 10,00,000

So you can show where the thousands are or ten thousands or hundred thousands.

Is there an easier way to write written form? it is a bit tiring when you write it.

Unfortunately not. Written form is the more "expanded" version of standard form, so I suppose instead of writing out "nine hundred sixty-seven" you could just simplify it to 967. Generally, written form is the kind of thing you learn once and then never use again. It's just useful for learning to speak numbers.

Whole numbers in written form review

Google Classroom

Review writing whole numbers in written form, and try some practice problems.

Written form

Written form is a way to write numbers using only words.

Example

Let's write

7, 229

in expanded form.

Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones
$7$ ‍	$2$ ‍	$2$ ‍	$9$ ‍

7229 = 7 thousands

+ 2 hundreds +

2 tens + 9 ones

= 7000 + 200 + 20 + 9

7229

in written form is

seven thousand, two hundred twenty- nine
