Are there proper terms for the methods of writing numbers in kanji (literal vs
powers-of-10)?

> 千五百三十六

vs

> 一五三六

If not (or the terms are too scientific) how to differentiate between them in
speech? Like 「〇〇文字を使って、書いて下さい」

I am primarily asking for Japanese terms, but I have no clue about English
either (initially though of _decimal_ , but in fact both methods use decimal
system).

How do you call different methods for writing numbers (notations)?
The former method is 命数法【めいすうほう】, and the latter is 位【くらい】取【ど】り記数法【きすうほう】,
although they're not known to most people. See
[this](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%BC%A2%E6%95%B0%E5%AD%97#.E4.BD.8D.E5.8F.96.E3.82.8A.E8.A8.98.E6.95.B0.E6.B3.95),

Wikipedia says that, in English, 10000 is written as `10000` in 記数法 and as
`ten thousand` in 命数法.

I personally knew 位取り記数法, but I haven't recognized 命数法 as the opposing idea of
記数法.

Either way, most people (including me) do not use specific terms to
distinguish the two methods in daily life. We just distinguish them by example
(eg, 「二千十五」のように「千・百」といった単位を記載する方法と、「二〇一五」のように、単位数字を省いて単に漢数字を並べる方法…).
