Today, we will illustrate the differences between them.<\/p>\n<p>  The major difference between them is that &quot;\u4e8c&quot; is generally used when counting numbers (\u4e00\u3001\u4e8c\u3001\u4e09,&hellip;), or performing mathematical computations. \u4e24(li\u01ceng) is used in front of measure words to express a quantity. For example:<\/p>\n<p>  \u4e24\u4e2a\u82f9\u679c(li\u01ceng g&egrave; p&iacute;ng gu\u01d2) two apples<br \/>  \u4e24\u5f20\u684c\u5b50(li\u01ceng zh\u0101ng zhu\u014d z\u01d0) two desks<br \/>  \u4e24\u672c\u4e66(li\u01ceng b\u011bn sh\u016b) two books<br \/>  \u4e24\u70b9\u949f(li\u01ceng di\u01cen zh\u014dng) 2 o&rsquo;clock<\/p>\n<p>  &quot;\u4e8c&quot; (&egrave;r) is also used as an ordinal number or in maths to indicate a numeral, a fraction, or a decimal. For example:<br \/>  \u7b2c\u4e8c(d&igrave; &egrave;r) the second<br \/>  \u4e8c\u697c(&egrave;r l&oacute;u) the second floor<br \/>  \u4e8c\u5206\u4e4b\u4e00(&egrave;r f\u0113n zh\u012b y\u012b) 1\/2<br \/>  \u96f6\u70b9\u4e8c (l&iacute;ng di\u01cen &egrave;r) 0.2<\/p>\n<p>  In the multi-digit numbers,<br \/>  For tens place and o<em><\/em>nes place, we o<em><\/em>nLY use &quot;\u4e8c&quot;. Eg. 22(\u4e8c\u5341\u4e8c)<br \/>  Before the hundred(\u767e), we can use either &quot;\u4e24&quot; or &quot;\u4e8c&quot;. e.g. 200(\u4e8c\u767e\/\u4e24\u767e).<br \/>  When used before the thousand(\u5343), ten thousand(\u4e07\uff09 or hundred million(\u4ebf), &quot;\u4e24&quot; is much more frequently used.<br \/>  e.g. 2000(\u4e24\u5343); 22222(\u4e24\u4e07\u4e24\u5343\u4e8c\u767e\u4e8c\u5341\u4e8c); 200,000,000(\u4e24\u4ebf)<\/p>\n<p>  When you want to say an approximate number, you can use &quot;\u4e24&quot;.
