numeral	When we write numbers, we can spell them with letters, like "five" or "sixty-two," but the most common way to write numbers is to use numerals, like 5 or 62. The larger the number is, the more common it is for us to use a numeral instead of spelling out the whole number with words and letters. A numeral uses symbols to stand for numbers instead of words.
