"Числительные два, три, четыре (а также составные числительные, оканчивающиеся на два, три, четыре, например двадцать два) в именительном падеже сочетаются с существительным в форме родительного падежа и единственного числа, например: двадцать два стола, тридцать три несчастья, пятьдесят четыре человека. Числительные пять, шесть, семь, восемь, девять и т. д. и составные числительные, оканчивающиеся на пять, шесть, семь, восемь и т. д., согласуются с существительным, стоящим в форме родительного падежа множественного числа, например: сорок восемь преступников. Однако в косвенных падежах согласование выравнивается: родительный падеж – двух столов, пяти столов, дательный падеж – двум столам, пяти столам."
