Chicago's general rule: “Chicago advises spelling out whole numbers from zero through one hundred and certain round multiples of those numbers.” Here's an example: Twelve houses sold in my neighborhood last year.
A simple rule for using numbers in writing is that small numbers ranging from one to ten (or one to nine, depending on the style guide) should generally be spelled out. Larger numbers (i.e., above ten) are written as numerals.
Ensure that each level of hierarchy is clear and consistent. Levels of subheads can be differentiated by type style, use of boldface or italics, and placement on the page, usually either centered or flush left. Use no more than three levels of hierarchy. Avoid ending subheadings with periods.
Spell out numbers one through one hundred (Chicago's general rule). Spell out multiples of one through one hundred used in combination with hundred, thousand, or hundred thousand.
Each bibliographic entry will be single-spaced with a double-space in between each entry.
AP Stylebook Numbers Rules Spell out numbers nine and below; use numerals for numbers above 10. Avoid starting sentences with numbers; most can be spelled out, but years must appear as numerals, so try to write the sentence a different way.
Spell out single-digit numbers zero through nine. Numbers >10 are expressed numerically. Zero is usually written as a numeral. Numerals are used when a number >10 appears in a range or list with higher numbers.
How to format a Chicago-style paper One inch margins on sides, top and bottom. Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double-space the text of the paper. Use left-justified text, which will have a ragged right edge. Use a 1/2" indent for paragraph beginnings, block quotes and hanging (bibliography) indents.
In nontechnical contexts, read: fiction of any genre including science fiction Chicago advises spelling out whole numbers from zero through one hundred and certain round multiples of those numbers. Most of the rest of this chapter deals with the exceptions to this rule and special cases.
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.
