My general rules, adapted from AP style:

In narrative prose, use digits for 10 through 99.
Use digits for 100 and above unless the number can be expressed in
two words (like two thousand or five hundred or a hundred
million).
In dialogue, write out all numbers. You don't say "47," you say "forty-seven," as @what points out.
Write out digits under 10 in prose and dialogue.
