How 262 is written

262 is the sum of its place values, 200 + 60 + 2, and is written two hundred sixty-two.

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

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