List of numbers

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

This is a list of articles about numbers (not about numerals).

Fractional numbers

This is a table of English names for positive rational numbers less than or equal to 1. It also lists alternative names, but there is no widespread convention for the names of extremely small positive numbers.

Keep in mind that rational numbers like 0.12 can be represented in infinitely many ways, e.g. zero-point-one-two (0.12), twelve percent (12%), three twenty-fifths $\left({3 \over 25}\right)$, nine seventy-fifths $\left({9 \over 75}\right)$, six fiftieths $\left({6 \over 50}\right)$, twelve hundredths $\left({12 \over 100}\right)$, twenty-four two-hundredths $\left({24 \over 200}\right)$, etc.
