[number 1-100] There is no rule to the way to remember the names for the numbers 1 to 10 in French so we recommend that you simply practice!
CHIFFRES, NUMÉROS, NOMBRES 10 is a nombre ou numéro! Un chiffre is used to express a digit. ( 1, 2, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9) dix is un nombre, made from Les Chiffres 1 and 0. Le numéro is used to refer to street / phone / house numbers and room numbers.

CHIFFRES, NUMÉROS, NOMBRES [ 11 to 20 ] Numbers 11 to 16 all end with 'ze'. Numbers 17, 18 and 19 are directly translated to be 'ten-seven','ten-eight' and 'ten-nine'. 17,18,19 and a lot of other numbers that are a ten unit + something else use a hyphen!

review 20: Vingt 30: Trente 40: Quarante 50: Cinquante: 60 ? 60 ? 60: soixante
60 soixante 61 soixante et un 62 soixante-deux 63 soixante-trois 64 soixante-quatre 65 soixante-cinq 66 soixante-six 67 soixante-sept 68 soixante-huit 69 soixante-neuf
Attention faîtes très attention
70: in french is equal to 60 and 10 Like 17 , 18, and 19 You remember: dix-seppt, dix-huit, dix-neuf So, how do you say 70 in french ? Soixante-dix
70 and 60, 10 ! This is where things start to go a little bit strange. Numbers 60 - 79 are all 60 + another number. ie. 63 = 60 + 3 = soixante-trois and 73 = 60 + 13 = soixante-treize
70 and 60, 10 ! 70 soixante-dix 71 soixante-onze 72 soixante-douze 73 soixante-treize 74 soixante-quatorze 75 soixante-quinze 76 soixante-seize 77 soixante-dix-sept 78 soixante-dix-huit 79 soixante-dix-neuf
Moving on to the very strange.
80, 90 et 100 A little guess please Cinquante trente Soixante vingt Huit dix Non non non It’s simple Quatre- vingt = 80
FOUR x TWENTY (of course!): In French 80 is refered to as four twenties. 80 - 99 are all refered to as 80 + another number ie. 83 = quatre-vingt-trois and 93 = 80 + 13 = quatre-vingt-treize. Notice that 81 is not written like 41,51 etc..
80 quatre-vingts * 81 quatre-vingt-un 82 quatre-vingt-deux 83 quatre-vingt-trois 84 quatre-vingt-quatre 85 quatre-vingt-cinq 86 quatre-vingt-six 87 quatre-vingt-sept 88 quatre-vingt-huit 89 quatre-vingt-neuf

100= cent Percentage: pour cent age %%%%%% Out of 100
Counting 100+ Overview: Now being able to say and recognise the numbers in French up to 100 is good. But at the same time a bit limited, now it's time to take a look at all those other numbers between 100 and Infinity ! Objective: Understand how to construct numbers from 100 to infinity (..and beyond!)
NOMBRES > 100 ! If you can remember all the numbers up to 100 then numbers greater than 100 are actually quite straightforward. MULTIPLE 20's and 100's:When you have multiple 'vingt' OR 'cent' expressions they are written plural ie. 80 = quatre-vingts 400 = quatre cents ..BUT.. 'cent' only takes an S when it is more than 100 and not followed by another number. ie. 210 = deux cent dix! (No 'S') Mille (1000) though is never plural ! ie. 8000 = huit mille!
