4. Numbers

4.1 Spell out numbers up to one hundred except when expressing dimensions, in statistical contexts, or in tables. Use Arabic for 101+ except when beginning a sentence. Spell out hundreds and thousands.

fifteen stools, sixty-one parrots, 156 canisters, one thousand lives, 34 × 67 cm

4.2 No commas are required for four-digit numbers (i.e. up to 9999), but should be used for every three digits thereafter (i.e. 10,000 and higher).

2400, 67,000, 207,000, 2,500,000
