245 is the sum of its place values, 200 + 40 + 5, and is written two hundred forty-five.

Its ordinal form is two hundred forty-fifth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "Two hundred forty-five and 00/100", where 00/100 stands for zero cents.

British English inserts "and" before the last part, giving two hundred and forty-five, where American English writes two hundred forty-five without it.
