How to write 10000 in words?

10000 is a 5-digit number. To write any large number in words, split the number according to the place value. The general place value system that we use broadly in India is called the Indian place value system. There is a different place value system, which is the international place value system. In India, we use both the Indian place value system and the international place value system. Before writing 10000 in words, let us understand the place value systems in detail.

Indian Place Value System

The Indian place value system is a chart or a table used to find the values of each digit in a number as per the Indian numeral system. Let us understand the Indian place value system using the chart below.

The above chart explains as follows:

1. There are nine places under four periods, such as Ones, Thousands, Lakhs, and Crores.
2. While writing a number in numeral form, it is separated by a comma based on periods.
3. The first period is the ones period that contains three places, i.e., ones, tens, and hundreds.
4. The second period is a thousand-period that contains two places, i.e., thousands and ten-thousands.
5. The third period is the Lakhs period that contains two places, i.e., Lakhs and ten lakhs.
6. The fourth period is the Crores period that contains two places, i.e., Crores and Ten-crores.
7. While reading any number, all digits that come under the same period are read together in a group.

Now, let’s write 10000 in the Indian place value chart.

• 10,000 words is TEN THOUSAND.
• 10 comes under the thousands period, and 000 comes under the ones period.
• While reading, start from the left side.
