Uno
Uno (one) is only used when counting, or when the number stands alone. Otherwise, un is used before masculine nouns and una before feminine nouns.
42
Hundreds
For 100, cien, a shortened version of ciento is used. The numbers 200, 300, etc., are written as all one word and the plural cientos is used (doscientos). Note that unlike English, the word hundred in Spanish becomes plural after one hundred, giving the literal meaning of two hundreds, three hundreds, etc. Also note the slight variations of spelling.
For all other compound numbers y (and) is used only between the tens and the units (for numbers ending in the 30s and above). Ciento is used for compound numbers in the 100s. When compounds of cien are used to describe feminine nouns, the feminine form is used. Finally, the word mil (thousand) is never plural, but millón (million) and billón (billion) are.

Millions and billions
Note that multiples of millón and billón use de before a noun. Note that billón actually means trillion in English, following the British usage. To say a billion as it is meant in the United States, say mil millones (literally: a thousand million).

Ordinals beyond tenth
The ordinal numbers beyond décimo (tenth) are rarely used. For instance, to say Carlos the Fifth, use the ordinal number: Carlos Quinto. However, to say Alfonso the Thirteenth use the cardinal number Alfonso Trece. Like adjectives, ordinal numbers agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify. Remember that primero and tercero are shortened when used before masculine singular nouns.
