Saying Numbers
For hundreds: "100" = "a hundred" or "one hundred". "101" = "a hundred and one" (British) or "a hundred one" (American). For thousands: "2,500" = "two thousand five hundred" or "twenty-five hundred" (informal). For millions: "3,400,000" = "three million four hundred thousand". Never say "three millions" — million, thousand, and hundred do not take -s after a number.
