Thousands
In English, when we write numerals or digits, we separate thousands with a comma (,) as in this example: 5,300,000
We count 3 digits from the right and insert a comma, like this:
| 1,000 |
(one thousand) |
| 4,500 |
(four thousand, five hundred) |
| 96,000 |
(ninety-six thousand) |
| 450,000 |
(four hundred and fifty thousand) |
| $6,300,000 |
(six million, three hundred thousand dollars) |
- We do NOT use a point (.) to separate thousands.
- We do NOT use a space ( ) to separate thousands.
- There is NO space before or after the comma.
Be careful with commas and points.
Some languages use them in the opposite way!
