Mr. R.’s World of Math

Count 3 digits,
Write first comma,
It says thousand,
End of drama!

3 more digits?
Second comma!
It says million,
End of drama!

Curly commas,
Lead the charge,
In saying numbers,
When they’re large…

Example 1:

For the number:

45,628

Say:
“forty five” 
“thousand” (for the comma)
“six hundred twenty eight”

Example 2

For the number:

 345,245,323

Say:
“three hundred forty five”
“million” (for the first comma) 
“two hundred forty five” 
“thousand” (for the second comma)
“three hundred twenty three”
