How 14 is written
14 is the sum of its place values, 10 + 4, and is written fourteen.
Its ordinal form is fourteenth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "Fourteen 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 fourteen, never ten four.
Its Roman numeral XIV uses subtractive notation: IV means 4, written as I before V instead of repeating I.
