It's easier to remember the names of the columns if you begin with the smallest place value and move to the columns that have larger place values.

Say, "Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, hundred thousands" as you move from first digit on the right to left.
- 89,379,287 (The digit 9 is in the millions column)
