How 516 is written
516 is the sum of its place values, 500 + 10 + 6, and is written five hundred sixteen.
Its ordinal form is five hundred sixteenth — only the final element takes the ordinal ending — and on a check the amount line reads "Five 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.
