Understanding Conversion Types

Cardinal Numbers are the standard counting numbers: one, two, three, four, etc. These are used for counting and expressing quantities.

Ordinal Numbers indicate position or order in a sequence: first, second, third, fourth, etc. These are commonly used for dates, rankings, and ordered lists.

Currency Formats convert numbers into monetary amounts with proper denomination names. For example, 123.45 in USD becomes "one hundred twenty-three dollars and forty-five cents."
