## Questions

### How do I write a check for $2,450.50?

Write 'Two thousand four hundred fifty and 50/100' on the line, followed by 'dollars' if it isn't printed. Choose the check style to get the exact wording.

### How are lakh and crore written?

1,00,000 is one lakh and 1,00,00,000 is one crore, so ₹12,50,000 is written 'Rupees twelve lakh fifty thousand only'. Indian cheques and invoices use this system.

### Should I write 'and' between hundreds and tens?

US check convention uses 'and' only before the cents. British and Indian English often say 'one hundred and five'; both are understood.

### How large a number can it spell?

Very large ones, into the quadrillions (US) and thousands of crores (India). Currency styles round to two decimal places.

### Is what I type sent anywhere?

No. The calculation runs in this browser tab with the same code our MCP server uses. Nothing you type is sent to a server or saved, apart from settings like filing status, which stay in this browser.

### Can an AI agent use this?

Yes. The same function is a tool on our free MCP server at tools.cuelark.com/mcp, so ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor get exactly the answer this page shows. 'Copy MCP call' gives you the arguments.
