....3,540 billion USD
1 million = one million
1 milliard = one bilion in UK, SA, USA and where else...?

As soon as you have 4 figures you separate with a “,” comma. Thus $1,000 and $9,999 and $99,000 and $1,000,000 and of course $3,540,000
To separte the unit from the decimal you use a point thus $1,234.98 and $9,999.56 and $3,540,987.23 etc
I trust that this helps.

You pronounce it as follows: three thousand five hundred and forty million dollars or three comma five hundred and forty billion dollars. Your figure is $3,540,000 and you may also write $3,540,000.00
