How 116 is written
116 is the sum of its place values, 100 + 10 + 6, and is written one hundred sixteen.
Its ordinal form is one hundred sixteenth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "One hundred sixteen and 00/100", where 00/100 stands for zero cents.
The last part is not built from its digits: English names 10 to 19 with single irregular words, so this is sixteen, never ten six.
