First of all, let's understand the formats in which the number needs to be written.

In Asian format, the commas are placed after every two characters except for at the last group of characters, which has three characters. When we apply this to our given number 142,319,000, it will look like this:

14,23,19,000

Now let's look at the international format. In this format, commas are placed after every three digits. When we apply this to our given number, it will stay the same because it's already in this format:

142,319,000

The last part of the question is about converting this number into words. The number 142,319,000 can be written in words as:

"One hundred forty-two million, three hundred nineteen thousand" in international format.

In general, the rules for writing numbers in words are as follows: First, identify the value of each digit in the given number based on its place value or position. Then, convert each of this obtained value to words.

For 142,319,000,
- 1 at hundreds place in hundred millions, which becomes "One hundred".
- 4 at tens place in ten millions, which becomes "forty".
- 2 is at Ones place in millions, which becomes "two million". All combined, it becomes "One hundred forty-two million".
- Similarly, 3 is at hundreds place in hundred thousands, which becomes "three hundred".
- 1 is at tens place in ten thousands, which becomes "ten".
- 9 is at ones place in thousands, which becomes "nine thousand". All combined, it becomes "three hundred nineteen thousand".

The final zeroes do not need to be written in words. Hence, the number becomes "One hundred forty-two million, three hundred nineteen thousand."
