How to write 725,000 in words
The number 725,000 is written “seven hundred and twenty-five thousand” in British English. Notice the word “and”: British English places it between the hundreds and the rest of the group. American English usually leaves it out. The hyphen in twenty-five is not optional – every compound number from twenty-one to ninety-nine is hyphenated.
Because 725,000 is below one thousand it is a single group: name the hundreds and stop. That gives “seven hundred and twenty-five thousand”.
In running text the number is normally lowercase: “the fee is seven hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds”. At the start of a sentence, in a heading, or on a legal document it takes capitals: Seven Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand. Formal documents often give both forms together, for example “seven hundred and twenty-five thousand (725,000)”, so that a reader can check one against the other.

- Pluralising the group words. It is hundred, thousand, never “hundreds”, “thousands” or “millions” after a number.
