Rule: Numbers up to a million

Each digit is worth its place: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands.

Compare numbers from the left: first the number of digits, then the first digit that differs.

Example: 304 205 = 3 × 100 000 + 4 × 1 000 + 2 × 100 + 5

Watch out: Write an empty place as a zero: three hundred thousand and fifty is 300 050, not 350.
