How does the number into words work?

When you learn the Number System, you will know about various types of numbers. Those numbers represented in words, place value, face value and standard form.      

Example: Write 33 in words.

Solution: In number 33, ones placed occupied with 3, so there are 3 ones, and tens place occupied with 3, so there are 3 tens. So 3 tens and 3 ones are equal to 33. Or we can write, 33 as ‘thirty-three’ in words.
