How to read a number?

Hi,

Then, how to read "102,131" in the manner of native speakers?

One hundred and two thousand, one hundred and thirty one.

However, as in your earlier example, I believe Americans may often omit the 'ands'.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi,
I would say "one hundred two thousand, one hundred thirty-one" (103,131). Low numbers can be read two ways:
131 - one thirty-one (quick version), one hundred thirty-one (complete standard version).
105 - one oh five (quick version), one hundred five (complete standard version) - I also heard a mathematics professor say "one oh five".
Notice Americans usually leave out "and"

"I also heard 1500 as "fifteen hundred", but what's 1512 then, fifteen hundred twelve or fifteen twelve? Also, I don't think 8945 can be read as "eighty-nine forty-five"..."

I always hear native speakers say fifteen hundred, fifteen twelve and eighty nine forty five when referring to room numbers, not sure whether that applies to currency as well. I'm interested to hear from native speake

New2grammarnot sure whether that applies to currency as well. I'm interested to hear from native speakers on this topic.

Yeah, and not sure that applies to math! I'm sure 132 can be "one thirty-one" in math, though. Let's wait and see.

Maybe in Italian math?
