First up: the number 15340 is written as Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty in English (say it like "FIF-teen THOW-zand THREE HUN-dred FOR-tee"). 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.

You’d say, “I’ve saved Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty 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 15340 in words is with a place value chart. Think of it as a pirate map showing where each digit hides. For 15340, we have five digits: 1, 5, 3, 4, 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 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 0 |
This chart shows the “expanded form,” like unfolding the number. For 15340, it’s: 1 ten thousand + 5 thousands + 3 hundreds + 4 tens + 0 ones. In numbers, that’s 1 × 10000 + 5 × 1000 + 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 0 × 1, or 10000 + 5000 + 300 + 40 + 0 = 15340.
To write it in words: “Ten Thousand” for the 10000, “Five Thousand” for the 5000, “Three Hundred” for the 300, “Forty” for the 40, and skip the zero since it adds nothing. Combine the thousands (10 + 5 = 15, so “Fifteen Thousand”) and add “Three Hundred Forty.” Put it together: Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty! Easy, right?
A Simpler Way to Understand
If charts feel a bit puzzling, try this: start from the left. The 1 and 5 together form 15 in the ten thousands and thousands places, so that’s “Fifteen Thousand.” The 3 is in the hundreds place, so add “Three Hundred.” The 4 is in the tens place, so add “Forty.” The last digit, 0, means no ones to add. It’s like saying, “Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty, and that’s it!” Try it with a small number like 15 (“Fifteen”) 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 15: “Fifteen.”
Add another for 150: “One Hundred Fifty.”
Another for 1500: “One Thousand Five Hundred.”
One more for 15000, then add 340 for 15340: “Fifteen Thousand Three Hundred Forty.”
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.
