How 216 is written
216 is the sum of its place values, 200 + 10 + 6, and is written two hundred sixteen.
Its ordinal form is two hundred sixteenth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "Two 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.
