This is a table of English names for non-negative [[rational number]]s less than or equal to 1. It also lists alternative names, but there is no widespread convention for the names of extremely small positive numbers.

Keep in mind that rational numbers like 0.12 can be represented in [[Infinity|infinitely]] many ways, e.g. ''zero-point-one-two'' (0.12), ''twelve [[percent]]'' (12%), ''three twenty-fifths'' ({{sfrac|3|25}}), ''nine seventy-fifths'' ({{sfrac|9|75}}), ''six fiftieths'' ({{sfrac|6|50}}), ''twelve hundredths'' ({{sfrac|12|100}}), ''twenty-four two-hundredths'' ({{sfrac|24|200}}), etc.
