How 212 is written
212 is the sum of its place values, 200 + 10 + 2, and is written two hundred twelve.
Its ordinal form is two hundred twelfth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "Two hundred twelve 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 twelve, never ten two.
