1.000.000 OR 1,000,000

[ajax3592]

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

[bryant.coleman]

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.

No dear the value after the decimal point is nothing, have no value. according to my school teaching.

ITs different per country



Decimal marks:
Full Stop "." – Blue
Comma "," – Green
Eastern Arabic numerals – Red
Data unavailable – Grey

All what should be teach at school is use brain. Seriously, anything that make sence works, like
1 000 000

School not teach brain, teach only US, is not know about outside world, savages, using decimals wrong!

As long as school teach be proud of your flag and pay taxes, it works I guess

how many bushels is a mile of water?
how many feet to a metric tonne?

do you know what they call a quarterpounder with cheese?

Like how we still haven't converted to the metric system? 

[infinitybo]

To me it seems natural to write "1.000.000" this way maybe because of the mathematics and such i don't know

I always wondered about this. Metric system beats the US system. All this trouble with mph, inches, feet, gallons etc.

Common sense should work. If not, make sure that you're not responsible for someone else's fault.

No. I am Western European (definitely not Russian) and I fall in the green area.

He thinks the whole European continent is Russia. That should be enough answer.

Considering China, USA, Japan, India, and Australia all use a period '.' for decimal places, it's clear who the winner is.

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.

"winner"? Lol.  By that logic, forget English as language, its clear that Mandarin is the winner, followed by Spanish.

Now pls rewrite your post in Mandarin. You may also want to start saying the year is 4000 something instead of 2013.

Because of mathematics that's the wrong way to write it....
1.000000000000 = 1.
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.

[yntro]

1,000,000 1.000.000 doesnt make difference to me.. I write 1 000 000 or better yet 1000000.

Sometimes it gets frustrating, when you switch from coding to formatting some pricelist.

I wish there would be only one language in the world (english or maybe chinese/japanese) and only metric system. Screw inches and farenheit
