Hey, young explorer! Have you ever seen the number 13700 and wondered how to say it in words? It’s super easy, and I’m here to guide you like a friendly math buddy. By the end of this adventure, you’ll be a number-word wizard! Let’s dive in with a big smile.
First up: the number 13700 is written as Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred in English (say it like "THUR-teen THOW-zand SEV-en HUN-dred"). We use these words for awesome things like money, game points, or counting treasures. Writing numbers in words makes them clear and exciting for everyone.
Imagine you’re at a store and spot a fantastic drone for Rs. 13700. You save up your pocket money and buy it! You tell your friends, “I spent Rupees Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred on this awesome drone!” Or maybe you’re saving for a new gaming console costing the same. You’d say, “I’ve saved Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred rupees so far!” Words make your story pop, like adding colors to a picture.
Breaking It Down with a Place Value Chart
The easiest way to write 13700 in words is with a place value chart. Think of it as a pirate map showing where each digit hides. For 13700, we have five digits: 1, 3, 7, 0, and 0. Each has a special spot, starting from the right.
Here’s the chart (picture a vibrant, colorful grid with each box holding a digit):
| Ten Thousands | Thousands | Hundreds | Tens | Ones |
| 1 | 3 | 7 | 0 | 0 |
This chart shows the “expanded form,” like unfolding the number. For 13700, it’s: 1 ten thousand + 3 thousands + 7 hundreds + 0 tens + 0 ones. In numbers, that’s 1 × 10000 + 3 × 1000 + 7 × 100 + 0 × 10 + 0 × 1, or 10000 + 3000 + 700 + 0 + 0 = 13700.
To write it in words: “Ten Thousand” for the 10000, “Three Thousand” for the 3000, “Seven Hundred” for the 700, and skip the zeros since they add nothing. Combine the thousands (10 + 3 = 13, so “Thirteen Thousand”) and add “Seven Hundred.” Put it together: Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred! Easy, right?
A Simpler Way to Understand
If charts feel a bit puzzling, try this: start from the left. The 1 and 3 together form 13 in the ten thousands and thousands places, so that’s “Thirteen Thousand.” The 7 is in the hundreds place, so add “Seven Hundred.” The last two digits, 00, mean no tens or ones, so there’s nothing more to add. It’s like saying, “Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred, and that’s it!” Try it with a small number like 13 (“Thirteen”) to get the hang of it!
A Fun Way to Build the Words
Let’s make it a game, like building a tower:
1 is “One.”
Add a zero for 13: “Thirteen.”
Add another for 130: “One Hundred Thirty.”
Another for 1300: “One Thousand Three Hundred.”
One more for 13000, then add 700 for 13700: “Thirteen Thousand Seven Hundred.”
It’s like growing a tree from a tiny sprout! Try this with another number, like your favorite score in a game—it’s so much fun.
