How to write a number in spanish

Question

How would you write the number 125,740,689

Answer 1

I would write it 125.740.689. In most Spanish speaking countries a comma is the same as our decimal point.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Welcome to the forum. This is a learning site, not a translation service. If you give it a try yourself and post the result, we'd love to help you.

So where are your decimal points (for commas)? 125.740.689 - 0074b507, Aug 20, 2010

I'm an engineer. I've gotten out of the habit of using separators other than decimal points. - KevinB, Aug 20, 2010

Answer 4

¿ Por qué?

This is the largest number I have ever tranlated. Will someone correct it if I'm wrong please.

Oops! ...corrected...

according to the translator tool ciento veinticinco millones setecientos cuarenta mil seiscientos ochenta y nueve - sanlee, Aug 19, 2010

Thanks,Sanlee. I made 3 dumb mistakes, and I had fogotten about ciento. But I have never noticed the missing i in 700, and my Mexican friend told me that more than 1 mil was miles. - canicos, Aug 19, 2010

This isn't the first Spanish mistake I've caught him in. - canicos, Aug 19, 2010

I think you did a great job, canicos. I find these numbers difficult. - sanlee, Aug 19, 2010

Answer 5

Someone posted a link to a translator that will do this. I bet if someone searched for it on this forum they could probably find it.

Edit: Sanlee did. Look up.

Just Sub in the periods where you would, in English, place commas.
