Numbers

Make large numbers and long numerals easier to read by splitting them up into chunks.

Long sequences of digits (e.g. numerals such as phone, serial and credit card numbers) can be difficult for users to read, remember and compare.

A simple and proven way to increase their readability is to split up the digits into visually separated groups:

5471 3250 0192 1718

Do
Credit card number with digits grouped

5471325001921718

Don't
Credit card number without digits grouped

The symbols for separating the digit groups vary based on tradition and cultural context. Make sure to follow the (local) conventions.

18003228316

Don't
