how to read big numbers Hi, I've always wondered how, in spoken english, are read big numbers; in the following examples, i will write down the way i'm used to reading them (that's probably the most formal), and i'd like you to write whether it's even the most common, otherwise please write down how those numbers are commonly read in spoken english, especially in American English: 842 = eight hundreds forty two 6.554 = six thousands and five hundreds fifty four 152.600 = one hundred fifty two thousands and six hundreds (??) 1.4 million = one million four hundreds thounsands OR one million four (??) thanks to everybody
