What is the numerical form of "eight thousand six hundred and twenty-one"?

  1. 8,621

  2. 8.621

  3. 8621

  4. 86,210

The correct answer is: 8621

The correct answer is C 8621. In numerical form, each number in a number represents its value. A stands for 8,000, while B stands for 8.621. Both of these options include a decimal, which is incorrect since there is no decimal in the written form of the number. D stands for 86,210, which is incorrect because the written form does not include a comma to group the hundreds. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it is the most accurate representation of the number in numerical form.
