ten thousandths

It is a fraction and therefore the number should have the "nths" ending in English.

Alternatively, possibly, you could use "...out of ten thousand".

"Ten thousands"

Ten thousands - "dix millièmes" - refer the owners' shares of the communal areas. "es" is like "st" in 1st or "rd" in 3rd
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tom Bishop : "millièmes" is correct, but the English is "thousandths".
