the spatial/chronological numbering system is used for denominators larger than 2 (2 as the denominator of a fraction is "half" rather than "second"), with a denominator of 4 sometimes spoken as "quarter" rather than "fourth". This system results in "two thirds" for 2/3 and "fifteen thirty-seconds" for 15/32. This system is normally used for denominators less than 100 and for many powers of 10. Examples include "six ten-thousandths" for 6/10,000 and "three hundredths" for 0.03.
