Group boundary: 1 | 302
The comma boundary separates 1 from 302: “one thousand” is read before “three hundred two”.
One thousand three hundred two
Pattern: Thousands with a silent tens place
1,302 splits into 1 | 302. In the final group, the tens place is zero, so “two” follows “three hundred” directly.

| 3 | hundreds | 300 | three hundred |
| 0 | tens | 0 | not spoken |
| 2 | ones | 2 | two |
| Group | Digits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| thousands | 1 | one thousand |
| final group | 302 | three hundred two |
The comma boundary separates 1 from 302: “one thousand” is read before “three hundred two”.
The tens position contains zero. It preserves place value in the numeral but adds no spoken word.
The American English style used here normally omits “and” between “hundred” and the following tens or ones.
