    Number + 月份

    Explanation

    十月份 (shíyuèfèn) means "October" or "the month of October." Adding 份 (fèn) after a month name is optional and adds a slightly more colloquial or emphatic tone, specifying "the month of" rather than just naming the month. Both 十月 and 十月份 are correct; the 份 suffix is commonly used in spoken Chinese and news writing.
