The linguistic hardness ($LH$) of a natural number is the ratio of the amount of letters in the writing of this number in English to the amount of its digits.

For example, $LH(1234) = 7.75$, as:

$$\frac{\mbox{Number of letters}}{\mbox{Number of digits}} = \frac{\mbox{(one thousand two hundred thirty four)}}{1234}= 31/4 = 7.75$$$$\frac{\mbox{Number of letters}}{\mbox{Number of digits}} = \frac{\mbox{N(one thousand two hundred thirty four)}}{N(1234)}= 31/4 = 7.75$$

What the is $N: 0<N<10^9$ with biggest $LH(N)$?

P.S. This puzzle appears to be much more interesting in Russian, but this is not Russian site to ask it here.

The question as stated now suggests that the LH is less than 10^9, not the number itself.

What is the "linguistically hardest" number with the largest linguistic hardness less than $10^9$?
