Word form is the number name written in words, just like you’d read it.
To write a 5-digit number in word form, spell out the number and value in each place. The 10-thousands and thousands place together make a 2-digit number followed by the word “thousands.” The tens and ones place together make a 2-digit number.
What is 19,075 in word form?
Nineteen thousand, seventy-five
Notice there aren’t any hundreds, so we don’t write or say hundred.
