    Los números de cien al millón

     

     
    100 cien
    101-199 ciento + número (ex: ciento uno)
    200  doscientos(as)
    300  trescientos(as)
    400  cuatrocientos(as)
    500  quinientos(as)
    600  seiscientos(as)
    700 setecientos(as)
    800  ochocientos(as)
    900  novecientos(as)
    1.000  mil
    1.000.000  un millón
    2.000.000  dos millones

     

    Here we offer you some rules that can help you use complex numbers in Spanish:

    • Unlike English, there is not an “y” directly after the number one hundred (ciento in combination with other numbers).

    Modelo:

    101 (ciento uno)

    133 (ciento treinta y tres)

    • Ciento is used in combination with numbers from 1 to 99: ciento uno, ciento dos, ciento ochenta, and so on. Cien is used when counting and before numbers greater than 100: cien mil (100.000), cien millones (100.000.000).
    • Like we saw in Unidad Introductoria, numbers agree in gender and number with the noun they modify: doscientos cuadernos, trescientas computadoras.
    • The word mil (1.000) does not have a plural form in counting. However, the word millón has the plural form millones. When followed directly by a noun, millón (1.000.000) (dos millones, and so on) must be followed by de.

    Modelo:

    $3000 –> tres mil dólares
    $20.000.000 –> veinte millones de habitantes

     

    Dates

    When expressing dates, years are never written with a period or a comma. Also, the numbers 200-900 will be masculine and plural to agree with the implied or stated masculine plural noun años. Years must be spelled out (1992: mil novecientos noventa y dos) rather than broken into two-digit groups (nineteen ninety-two)

    Modelo:

    2019 –> dos mil diecinueve
    1876 –> mil ochocientos setenta y seis

     

    In many parts of the Spanish-speaking world, a period is used when English uses a comma, and a comma is used to indicate the decimal.

    Modelo:

    $1.600

    $1.000.000
