Words in the cardinal category are cardinal numbers, such as the English one, two, three, which name the count of items in a sequence. The multiple category are adverbial numbers, like the English once, twice, thrice, that specify the number of events or instances of otherwise identical or similar items.
twenty-three point three eight billion Often, large numbers are written with (preferably non-breaking ) half-spaces or thin spaces separating the thousands (and, sometimes, with normal spaces or apostrophes ) instead of commas —to ensure that confusion is not caused in countries where a decimal comma is used.
Numbers in mathematical formulae are never spelled out (3 < π < 22 / 7 not three < pi < twenty-two sevenths), and "numbers as numbers" are rarely spelled out in other mathematical contexts (the first three primes are 2, 3, and 5 not the first three primes are two, three, and five; but zero-sum game and roots of unity).
The Turkic words for "eight" are from a Proto-Turkic stem *sekiz, which has been suggested as originating as a negation of eki "two", as in "without two fingers" (i.e., "two short of ten; two fingers are not being held up"); [1] this same principle is found in Finnic *kakte-ksa, which conveys a meaning of "two before (ten)".
The cardinals ending in a syllabic nasal (seven, nine, ten) inserted a second nasal before the thematic vowel, resulting in the suffixes *-mó-and *-nó-. These and the suffix * -t(ó)- spread to neighbouring ordinals, seen for example in Vedic aṣṭa má - "eighth" and Lithuanian deviñ ta s "ninth".

The unique simple formally real Jordan algebra, the exceptional Jordan algebra of self-adjoint 3 by 3 matrices of quaternions, is 27-dimensional; [5] its automorphism group is the 52-dimensional exceptional Lie algebra. [6] There are twenty-seven sporadic groups, if the non-strict group of Lie type (with an irreducible representation that is ...
