The first number on the left is 5, and we see that it is in the ten millions place. So that means our number will have 5 5 ten millions or 50,000,000.

The next number is 3, which is in the millions place. So this means 3 millions.

The next number 7 is in the one hundred thousands place. So we will have 7 one-hundred thousands.

The next number 1 is in the ten thousands place. So this means we have 1 ten thousand.

And so on for the rest of the numbers. Do you get the picture?

So this means that our number

53,712,009.328

would be written in words as...

fifty-three million, seven hundred twelve thousand-nine and three hundred twenty eight thousandths

Whole Numbers are always written to the left of the decimal point. Decimal numbers are always written to right of the decimal point.

Looking at the number 53,712,009.328, in our chart, we can see that 3 is in the tenths place, so the 3 represents three-tenths. And the 8 is in the thousandths place,so it represents eight-thousandths.
