Numerals
As with the Arabic numeral system that English speakers are accustomed to, Celestial numbers are written with each numeral representing a single digit of the whole number. The equivalent of a dash is used to separate hundreds places; periods/full stops are used to separate decimal places. Some examples are as follows:
0: 0
1: 1
2: 2
3: 3
4: 4
5: 5
6: 6
7: 7
8: 8
9: 9
35: 35
2,648,900: 2-648-900
88.91: 88.91
