Writing numbers in words is an essential skill to acquire. Learning the word forms of numbers is essential because small numbers (1 to 9) are mostly written in word forms, and if a sentence starts with a number, the number is always expressed in word form. Also, this skill comes in handy while writing answers in math paper. In this article, we will discuss how to write 1500 in words. 

How do you write 1500 in words?

1500 in words is written as one thousand five hundred. For instance, if you bought a bag for 1500, you can write, “I bought a bag for one thousand five hundred.” Another way of saying this is, “I bought a bag for fifteen hundred.”

1500 is a cardinal number as it denotes a specific quantity. Let us now tell you how you can use a place value chart to write in words. 

How do you use a place value chart to write 1500 in words?

With the help of a place value chart, you can easily write the word form of 1500 in English. Let’s learn how to do it:

Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones
1	5	0	0

Let us break down the chart by determining the digits in each place. 

Digit/ One’s place: 0

Ten’s place: 0

Hundred’s place: 5

Thousand’s place: 1 

Read the numbers from right to left with their place value and then convert the numerals into words. Hence, 1500 in words is written as one thousand five hundred. 

Let us take another example. 

Question: Write the value of 1500 + 500 in words. 

Solution: 1500 + 500 = 2000

Now, let us find the place of each number in the place value chart. 

Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones
2	0	0	0

The digits on each place are: 

Digit/ One’s place: 0

Ten’s place: 0

Hundred’s place: 0

Thousand’s place: 2
