Best Answer

When writing a decimal in word form, always move left to right.

Left of decimal- Write the number just as you would if there wasn't a decimal after it. Ignore the decimal and the numbers to the right of it, and just write the number to the left.

Decimal- Write "point."

Right of decimal- List the numbers from left to right.

Write these three in that order to find the answer.

Example You have 10056.07825. The number to the left is "ten thousand fifty-six", then the decimal is "point," and the numbers to the left are "zero seven eight two five."

The answer is "ten thousand fifty six point zero seven eight two five."

_____

When you write a decimal like: 1056.2356 you would write it like this:

ten thousand fifty six AND (not point) two thousand three hundred fifty six ten thousandths.
