The ordinal suffix '-th' transparently marks a cardinal number as an ordinal; learners who know '64' and ordinal formation will understand '64th'.

Etymology

64Th is the way we show order for the number 64, made by adding the ending -th to show 'order' or 'position'. So 64th simply means 'the one that comes after sixty-third', which is why you say '64th floor' or '64th place' when you mean that position in a list or building.
