If an annual report is written in millions and the amount is 4238 There is a comma after the 4 how would that be written in dollars?

Answer 1

We're talking big bucks here. All you have to do is multiply the number by one million, which is the same as adding 6 zeros. So the amount is: $4,238,000,000.00. Four billion two hundred thirty eight million. A thousand thousands is a million, and a thousand millions is a trillion. So you can look at the number and get a quick fix on the amount. The report amount is four thousand. Since a thousand millions is a trillion, four thousands is four trillion. ================================================= The word 'billion' means different things to different people. In Canada and the US, at least, a thousand million is a billion, not a trillion. A trillion is a thousand billion.

• 1,000 is one thousand
• 1,000,000 is one million
• 1,000,000,000 is one billion
• 1,000,000,000,000 is one trillion

In Britain, however, a billion is a million million. That's why on British newscasts one often hears the figure, one thousand million. We in Canada and the US would refer to the thousand million amount as one billion. This can, obviously, lead to confusion. But, in any event, the first answer above contains an error. The figure we are talking about is 4,238 millions (4,238,000,000). In Britain, that's how it would be said, 'four thousand, two hundred and thirty-eight millions (4,238,000,000). In Canada and the US, it would be spoken as 'four billion, two hundred and thirty-eight million' or 'four point two three eight billion.'
