This lesson it's all about reading numbers to 10 million. Firstly, you should read the number from the left-hand side. Secondly, it can be useful to group the digits in groups of three from the right-hand side. It can also be useful to put commas between the groups of digits. The first comma from the right-hand side is where you say thousand and the next is where you say million. Let's try with this number: 8,372,803. Let's try with the next number: 4,361,407.
