If a number is the first word in a sentence, spell it out.
There are lots of other rules for using numbers in formal writing including rules on how to write them. The "Chicago Manual of Style" covers just about everything. See the link below.

If it's a formal paper, DO NOT write the numeral on ANY number. For example: "12 days later" should be " Twelve days later" Remember to use spell check, and a day or two before you turn it in, read over it and see if it sounds right before you get a bunch of points taken off. Good luck with your paper!
