I write it as:

2 billion 32 million 12 thousand 4 hundred = 2 × (10⁶)² + 32 × 10⁶ + 12 × 10³ + 4 × 10²

= 2 × 1,000,000,000,000 + 32 × 1,000,000 + 12 × 1,000 + 4 × 100

= 2,000,000,000,000 + 32,000,000 + 12,000 + 400

= 2,000,032,012,400

as I use the long scale (as used in Europe).

Others write it as:

2 billion 32 million 12 thousand 4 hundred = 2 × (10³)²⁺¹ + 32 × 10⁶ + 12 × 10³ + 4 × 10²

= 2 × 1,000,000,000 + 32 × 1,000,000 + 12 × 1,000 + 4 × 100

= 2,000,000,000 + 32,000,000 + 12,000 + 400

= 2,032,012,400

as they use the short scale (as used in the USA).
