How do the numbers work in Spanish? For all numbers above 16 you need to break the number into pieces-the tens column and the ones column

32=30+2
       treinta y dos

56=50+6
       cincuenta y seis

 

How are 16-29 special For numbers 16-29 there is a spelling change

16=10+6
       diez y seis = dieciseis
for 16-19 change the Z to C 
and Y to I

23=20+3
      veinte y tres = veintitres
for 21-29 get rid of the E and change the Y to I
