Compound numbers from 21 through 99 join the tens word and the ones word with a hyphen. In 9,727, the 27 part combines twenty and seven, producing twenty-seven.
Hundreds are written by placing a digit word before hundred. In 9,727, the hundreds part is seven hundred.
American English usually omits and after hundred when more digits follow. That is why this page writes nine thousand seven hundred twenty-seven without adding and before the final part.
English reads large numbers in three-digit groups. 9,727 reaches the thousand group, so the group nine is followed by the scale name thousand.
Scale names stay singular inside exact number names. English writes nine thousand without adding a plural s to the scale name.
