The Indian numbering system is somewhat more complex: It groups the rightmost three digits altogether (until the hundreds place) and thereafter groups by sets of two digits. For example, one trillion (on the short scale; a million millions) would thus be written as 10,00,00,00,00,000 or 10 kharab. [33]
The name of a number 10 3n+3, where n is greater than or equal to 1000, is formed by concatenating the names of the numbers of the form 10 3m+3, where m represents each group of comma-separated digits of n, with each but the last "-illion" trimmed to "-illi-", or, in the case of m = 0, either "-nilli-" or "-nillion".

Start by writing the dollar amount in words, then express the cents as a fraction using xx/100. So, in this example, write “One thousand, five hundred and 75/100” to indicate the dollar amount ...
For example, $73 is written as “seventy-three,” and the words for $43.50 are “Forty-three and 50/100.” You don’t need to write the word “dollars” if your bank has preprinted it on ...

However, considering that the international use is euro and that there is a tendency in Asturian to write some short forms with a final -o (like euro from Europa), other linguists, like Ramón d'Andrés, defend the ...
Three million dollars sounds like the kind of money that lets you spend retirement sitting on the dock of your own boat, sipping mai tais (or coffee, if that's more of your thing). But a $3 million...
99.3 is "ninety-nine point three"; or "ninety-nine and three tenths" (U.S., occasionally). In English the decimal point was originally printed in the center of the line (0·002), but with the advent of the typewriter it was placed at the bottom of the line, so that a single key could be used as a full stop/period and as a decimal point.
For powers of ten less than 9 (one, ten, hundred, thousand and million) the short and long scales are identical, but for larger powers of ten, the two systems differ in confusing ways. For identical names, the long scale grows by multiples of one million (10 6), whereas the short scale grows by multiples of one thousand (10 3).
