In mathematics, the short word form is created by writing a large number using a combination of numbers and words. For instance, the short word form of 785,000 is 785 thousand.
Short word form is most commonly used for numbers greater than a thousand. It differs from word form in that each quantity is not given in word form. The word form of 785,000 is seven hundred eighty-five thousand. Instead, in short form, the quantity is written by combining the defined quantity of “785” and the word which indicates the place value, “thousand.” Short word form is most commonly learned alongside place value in a traditional math curriculum.
