In written communication, integers (1, 2), especially under ten, should usually be spelled out. "Ordinals" (first, second) should also be spelled out. Examples : "I played three games. I came in twenty-fifth out of thirty-two contestants." Exceptions are considered proper for very large ordinals, especially when used in proper descriptions : 99th percentile, 173rd Airborne Brigade. Similarly, irregular fractions such as 3/65 which are cumbersome to spell out. Also, decimal numbers such as 1.352 or .0049 when they must communicate an accurate amount. Integer percentages can use the written form : four percent. (see related link for more specifics)
