# Numbers

In Veeam technical documentation, we use numerals for all cardinal numbers greater than one and spell out all ordinal numbers. The only exception is the way we spell **3rd party**.

::: important

- If a number is a decimal, use a period (that is, a decimal point) to separate the integer part from the fractional part of the number. 
- For large numbers (thousands, millions and so on), use comma delimiters to separate the numbers into smaller pieces. Plus, each piece in a large number must contain no more than 3 digits. 

:::

### Examples

1. The report will show [top 5]{.mdhl-correct} datastores with the largest amount of over-provisioned storage space for this month.
2. The notification will remain displayed in the control panel until Veeam Agent for Linux completes [the first]{.mdhl-correct} backup job session.
3. You can synchronize categorization data between Veeam ONE Monitor and a [3rd party]{.mdhl-correct} application every time data collection runs.
4. Note that the tag synchronization process may take up to [3.5 hours]{.mdhl-correct} to complete.
5. Additionally, for users with tape installations (for file to tape jobs processing more than [1,000,000]{.mdhl-correct} files), the following requirements must be met:

   - [1.5 GB]{.mdhl-correct} RAM for file to tape backup for each 1,000,000 files
   - [2.6 GB]{.mdhl-correct} RAM for file restore for each 1,000,000 files
   - [1.3 GB]{.mdhl-correct} RAM for catalog jobs for each 1,000,000 files
