That is 4 *million* 832 thousand 349. You could shorten and round it to 4.8 million if you like.

Each group of three digits (from the right) are the units group, the thousands group, the millions group, the billions group, the trillions group, etc.

So if you have:
123,456,789 --> that's 123 million, 456 thousand, 789

If you have:
1,234,567,891 --> that's 1 *billion*, 234 million, 567 thousand, 891
12,345,678,912 --> that's 12 billion, 345 million, 678 thousand, 912
123,456,789,123 --> that's 123 billion, 456 million, 789 thousand, 123.

Just divide the value by 1000 to change it from millions to billions. Or simply move the decimal place 3 places to the left.

Let's look at the equation:
1000 million = 1 billion
1 million = .001 billion
So whatever number you have in millions, divide it by 1000 to get the number in billions.

1000 mn = 1 billion ...
So, to convert an amount in millions to billions, it should be divided by 1000.

From billion to millions, the number shall be multiplied by 1000.
$ 4,832,349 = $ 4.832 mn = $ 4.832/1000 bn = $ 0.004832 bn

Try looking at the number of zeros they each have.

Millions is 10^6
Billions in modern terms is 10^9

for general case divide the number to be converted by 10^9 will suffice.

Billion 1,000,000,000
Million 1,000,000

The value you listed is 4 million, 832 thousand and 349 dollars.

So in more detail

up to 999 is hundreds
up to 9,999 is thousands
up to 99,999 is tens of thousands
up to 999,999 is hundreds of thousands
Millions ranges from 1,000,000 to 999,999,999
Billions ranges from 1, 000,000,000 to 999,999,999
Trillions ranges from 1,000,000,000,000 to 999,999,999,999

And so forth.

Hope this helps
