Learn how to convert a US number to the format of other countries
Decimals and thousands separators, points and commas, are used quite differently around the world. If you want to know which countries use a comma as a decimal point, or how to convert a US number to the format used in another country, use the color-coded map below to see how numbers are presented around the world. Both large numbers and very small numbers (under 1) are expressed differently from country to country. Difference exist, even when the same language is spoken.
Canada is particularly tricky: Quebec uses the system in France (no commas for large numbers with commas for small numbers) while the rest of Canada uses the method popular in Australia (no commas for large numbers with decimals for small numbers).
