すうじ (suuji) - Numbers (Part 4)

~ Hundred Thousands ~

There are no special counter for this. The numbering is still the same as the "Ten Thousands" previously.

Example:

234,567 - にじゅうさんまんよんせんごひゃくろくじゅうなな (ni juu san man + yon sen + go hyaku + roku juu + nana)

~ Millions ~

1,000,000 - ひゃくまん (hyakuman)

As you probably can see, 1 million in Japanese is actually 100 of 10,000s but the numbering goes the same way as the "Ten Thousands".

Example:

2,345,678 - にひゃくさんじゅうよんまんごせんろっぴゃくななじゅうはち (ni hyaku san juu yon man + go sen roppyaku nana juu hachi)

12,345,678 - せんにひゃくさんじゅうよんまんごせんろっぴゃくななじゅうはち (sen +ni hyaku san juu yon man + go sen roppyaku nana juu hachi)

I guess this concludes the numbering for now. If you are interested in further reading, you can check these links.
