It is capitalized at the beginning of the sentence or when it forms part of the proper noun

Capitalizing a word depends on how that word is used. Here are examples of when you utilize the caps:

*Proper nouns, such as names -- i.e., John, Mary, Los Angeles, New York, the Star Trek Enterprise, Disneyland, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Seahawks, etcetera...

*Nouns that are substituted for a proper noun/names --
"I love you, Mommy."
"You wretched child, come here! Fetch my sword, Boy! I say again -- Boy, do as you are told."

*In creative writing, when some basic object acts as a symbol, or you as a writer need to allude to its significance --
"...the Wishsong of ..."
"...the unheralded Truth that spoke with impunity..."
"...and so we come upon our Destiny - the path of our choosing..."
"...a black stone hung suspended on the dais; it was surely, the famed Talisman of ..."

*To give something unsubstantial or some idea presence or validity or an identity --
"...she awoke screaming, the Dream once again haunting her..."
"...they kissed, finding a place of their own, encapsulated by a cacoon wherein neither Time, nor Space could separate them..."

All numbers are assumed to be capitalized. Otherwise two different size sixes might be found by a court of law to be worth say 6.1 or 6.3 and when talking about millions of dollars , that could add up.

Answer: If you are writing out numbers in words, they don't get capitalized unless they're a holiday (Fourth of July, fifth of July).
