Kanji Number Help

[aanders5]

Hi, our teacher for Japanese isn't very good with English, so I am having a hard time figuring out how exactly to write out the Kanji for an exercise.

The numbers are:
650
1800
714000
123000
3900000

I know how to write them hiragana, but I'm completely lost on how to write them in Kanji, all I know is 1-10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000.

Thanks for any help!

You should have written them in hiragana then just to show us. Besides, if you really know how to read these numbers, all you have to do is type the hiragana and press the space bar to get the kanji.　　

650　六百五十
1800　千八百 or 一千八百
714000　七十一万四千
123000　十二万三千
3900000　三百九十万

714000　七十一万四千
123000　十二万三千
3900000　三百九十万

I'm sorry, I will do that next time....um..
So
650 is written, 600 50.
1800 is 1000 800
714000 is 701 10,000 4000
123000 is 12,000 3,000
3900000 is 390 10 10,000

So, am I grouping the Kanji based on multiples of 10? 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, ect?

so... 65,750 would be like ろくじゅうごまんななひゃくごじゅう　or 六十五万七百五十?

Sort of; you start with multiples of 10 thousand. In 65,750, there are 6 multiples of 10K ie 60,000. So you need to put
ろくまん　六万
next work out your multiples of 1000. in this case, 5000.
ろくまんごせん　六万五千
then your multiples of 100, which here is 700
ろくまんごせんななひゃく　六万五千七百
Then multiples of 10　（５０）
ろくまんごせんななひゃくごひゅう　六万五千七百五十
and then any single digits.

So 六十五万七百五十 is actually 650,750.

Try these:

124
7456
28,567
64,939
100,400
826340
65
3560

ok, here we go.. :P
124: 飛躍二十四　I hit enter and that popped up? in hiragana i had: ひゃくにじゅうよん
7456: ななせにょん百五十六　um...now only half changed to kanji..im so confused on whats going on with the IME..do I do each one separate? Like this? 何戦四客五十六


UPDATE: Ok, so I did my homework and I compared my answers to mas's post and they are all right! But I still would like to figure out how Kanji works with IME, like when do I hit space to convert to Kanji, such. TY

You simply do not get the right kanji unless you first type the kana perfectly. Make one small mistake and you will not get the correct kanji.

You got 飛躍 because you typed ひやく instead of ひゃく with the small ゃ.

7456 is ななせんよんひゃくごじゅうろく.
