How to write numbers in words
- Hyphenate numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine: forty-two.
- Don’t use “and” inside whole numbers in American English: 1,250 = one thousand two hundred fifty (British English often says “and fifty”).
- Use “and” only before the cents on a check.
Writing a check
Write the amount in words on the line below the payee, with the cents as a fraction: One thousand two hundred fifty and 50/100, then draw a line to the end so nothing can be added. If the numeric and written amounts differ, banks generally go by the words (UCC § 3-114).
Examples

| 1,000,000 | one million |
| 2,500,000 | two million five hundred thousand |
