The decimal parts are the same as the ordinal words for values of 10.

1/10 = one tenth

2/10 = two tenths

1/100 = one hundredth

2/100 = two hundredths

1/1000 = one thousandth

2/1000 = two thousandths

Similarly, the smaller parts are:

ten-thousandth

hundred-thousandth

millionth

ten-millionth

hundred-millionth

billionth

In the US, both the numerators 21 to 99 and the parts are hyphenated.

Example: 23/5000 would be twenty-three five-thousandths.
