Title: 1.000.000 OR 1,000,000 Post by: ajax3592 on December 13, 2013, 10:36:24 AM I've been seeing many members writing a sum of 1 million as 1.000.000 <<<Is this correct way of writing it?
However I was taught in school that if there is a decimal it means the value after that would be in cents. So, I would always write 1 million as 1,000,000 Title: Re: 1.000.000 OR 1,000,000 Post by: bryant.coleman on December 13, 2013, 10:51:02 AM I some languages (such as Brazilian Portuguese), 1 million is written as 1.000.000 instead of 1,000,000. And interestingly, decimals are usually separated by ",".
For example, 17,695.25 in English will be written as 17.695,25 in Brazilian Portuguese. Title: Re: 1.000.000 OR 1,000,000 Post by: yasircheema on December 13, 2013, 10:53:05 AM No dear the value after the decimal point is nothing, have no value. according to my school teaching.

1,000,000 = 1 million 1.000.000 = The number 1. No not many people use a double decimal place nor is it widely understood.

By that logic, forget English as language, its clear that Mandarin is the winner, followed by Spanish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_number_of_native_speakers Now pls rewrite your post in Mandarin. You may also want to start saying the year is 4000 something instead of 2013.

Can't get any simpler than that. Of course, just use common sense. If someone wants to sell you say 1.000.000 DogeCoins for say 2 bitcoins, it's obvious he's talking about 1 million DogeCoins, not 1 DogeCoin.

I'm from India btw, I wrote "cents after decimals" so it is easy for all of you to interpret. Here it is "paisa" after decimal and rupee as you all know it is the currency here.

If someone wants to sell you say 1.000.000 DogeCoins for say 2 bitcoins, it's obvious he's talking about 1 million DogeCoins, not 1 DogeCoin. Since 1.00 = 1 in maths And yes, I think you missed that sell order where 0.0000001 DOGE sold for 1BTC which brought DOGE on #I at coinmarketcap for some time. So, this arguement of yours is wrong :P ~Different countries - Different cultures~ Title: Re: 1.000.000 OR 1,000,000 Post by: Lethn on December 16, 2013, 08:26:25 PM in order for it to be less than 1 I guess it would have to be 0.100.000.000 rather than 100.000.000 though I've never seen numbers written that way before, most western countries, in fact most countries I've seen all use commas for whole numbers and decimals for fractions of a number?
Edit: Oh wait, people already explained it exactly like that using less numbers but you get the idea, I wonder if someone is using stupid maths, be wary of the folks who try to use mbtc or satoshis to mess with you.
