Explanation:

I assume you are asking how one would express such a phrase in a written or printed form (i.e. transcribe it): in your example, a proper way of expressing it would be “I have one pen and fifteen pencils.”. In a technical context such as a scientific publication one might have to refer to extensive numbers, as I illustrate in the expression “There were 8 experts in the expedition: one of us discovered that the density of the components was 1,754 per square metre”. The basic rule is that for literature purposes one refers to simple numbers in the verbal mode and for technical purposes one uses the numeric representation. Personal references always use the verbal mode, hence one would not use a phrase such as “We were in London and 1 of us hailed a taxi.”, and likewise in a technical context one would not expect to read “For the colour subcarrier the frequency is four point four three three megahertz.”.
