Question

Matt wrote the number four million, three hundred five thousand, seven hundred sixty-two as 4,350,762. Describe and correct his error

Answer 1

it should be 4,305,762 not 4,350,762. the error was that instead matt wrote four million three hundred fifty seven hundred sixty two.

Answer 2

No, it is four million, three hundred fifty, seven hundred sixty two.

Explanation:

If we divide the number into different groups as separated by a comma here 4,350,762 and then the group is read as ones, tens, hundred, thousand, million, billion, trillion... and each group has three subgroups read as ones, tens and hundred as shown in the figure.

Then, 4,650,762 is read as Four million, three hundred fifty, seven hundred sixty-two not as four million, three hundred five thousand, seven hundred sixty-two.
