Numbers are split into 3-digit chunks from right to left (units, thousands, millions, etc.). Each chunk is converted independently.

Each chunk handles 0-999: ones (1-19), tens (20-90), and hundreds (100-900). Special rules for teens (11-19) prevent awkward constructions.

After converting each chunk, scale words are appended: thousand, million, billion, trillion. Empty chunks are skipped.

Decimals are spelled digit by digit after 'point'. So 45.67 becomes 'forty-five point six seven'.

Negative numbers are prefixed with 'negative' before converting the absolute value to words.

Banks require amounts written in words on checks. Convert 1250.00 to 'one thousand two hundred fifty' instantly.
