How does the converter handle large numbers?

It supports integers from −1 trillion to 1 trillion using the short scale (thousand, million, billion, trillion). Anything outside this range is rejected to avoid ambiguity and precision loss.

Does it support negative numbers?

Yes. Negative values are prefixed with "minus" in English and «минус» in Russian. For example, −42 becomes "minus forty-two" and «минус сорок два».

How are Russian plurals handled?

Russian requires different word forms depending on the number: одна тысяча, две тысячи, пять тысяч. The converter uses the Intl.PluralRules API (CLDR data) to select the correct grammatical form automatically.

Is my input sent to any server?

No. Everything runs 100% locally in your browser. Your numbers never leave your device.

Does it support decimal numbers?

No, only integers. Decimal amounts are common in financial documents — the convention is to write the integer part in words and the decimal part as a fraction (e.g. "one hundred and twenty-three and 45/100").

What is the difference between short scale and long scale?

In the short scale (used in English-speaking countries), 1 billion = 1,000 million. In the long scale (used historically in some European countries), 1 billion = 1,000,000 million. This converter uses the short scale.
