It’s a matter of personal choice. My choices are;

512 BC – five hundred and twelve BCE
608 – six oh eight or six hundred and eight
927 – nine twenty seven or nine hundred and twenty-seven
1002 – ten oh two
1045 – ten forty-five (not ‘one thousand (and) forty-five’)
1908 – nineteen oh eight (my grandfather used to
