written:
2,4 millions

orally:
deux millions quatre
deux virgule quatre millions
(either works)

[limpid saffron]

ah deux millions quatre makes sense merci merci ❤️

[humble sequoia]

actually, thinking back about context
you'd have to say "millions de personnes", right? or millions of something
In that case, it would be more natural to put it last, so you could say "deux virgule quatre millions de personnes"

[limpid saffron]

habitants wouldnt work?

[humble sequoia]

it would it would
but the same thing applies

[limpid saffron]

deux virgule quatre millions d´habitants

[humble sequoia]

yes
an alternative would be
"deux millions quatre-cent-mille habitants" spelling out the full number
