Tips & Best Practices
Writing Numbers in Formal Documents
- Always spell out numbers at the beginning of sentences
- Use figures for numbers 10 and above in technical writing
- Spell out numbers one through nine in general text

- Hyphenate compound numbers: twenty-one, ninety-nine
Check Writing Guidelines

- Start writing at the far left to prevent alterations
- Draw a line after the amount to fill remaining space
- Use "and" only for decimal points: "One Hundred and 50/100"
- Write cents as a fraction over 100: 75/100
- Always match the numerical and written amounts exactly
