Hi Agnieszka. Almost right: 9,834,456 is nine million, eight hundred AND thirty three thousand, four hundred and fifty six. The difference between dinner and supper is a tricky one. In Britain, dinner can be the noon or evening meal, but supper can only be the evening meal. Supper is generally a more formal term, although a formal meal with friends in someone's home rather than restaurant is called a dinner party!

Hello , you read the number correctly "nine million eight hundred thirty three thousand four hundred and fifty six". The difference between dinner and supper is : Dinner : It can either refer to the largest meal of the day or a gathering of people at a formal event that features a meal. Supper:Supper usually refers to a lighter meal eaten in the evening.
