Spell out whole/round numbers one through one hundred. For example, “thirty-two children from eleven families were packed into three vans”. Use numerals for other numbers, unless the number starts a sentence. Series of numbers: All numbers must be numeral.
Rules for units of measurement: Punctuation: don't place a full stop after a unit of measurement. Capitalisation: use capitals only if the unit represents a proper name. Plural and possessive: units don't have a plural or possessive form. Start of a sentence: write out the unit in full.
Chicago recommends using words, not numerals, for numbers lower than 100. For example, you would write “ninety-five,” not “95.” But numerals should still be used when you're referring to a specific measurement (e.g., “15 cm”) and when using decimals (e.g., “1.5”).

In Chicago's default style for numbers, whole numbers under 101 are usually spelled out, as in three or ninety-three. Chicago's alternative rule spells out numbers up to and including nine.
