How do I tell the page number of a document?
Hello!

I can't really figure out how I can tell someone the page number of a document in English.
Is it "Page number 1 of 24", "page 1 of 24" or "Page number 1 from 24"?

I think the first one sounds the best, but is it correct, too?

Thanks for any answers.

Answer

"Page X of Y" and "Page number X of Y" are both perfectly correct. The first one sounds best to me as the second one is a tad wordy. "Page X from Y" doesn't work - the preposition 'of' is correct in this case.

Answer

I think you can say "on the first page" or "on the first page out of 24"
