The first number on the left side of the dot represent the ones.

The first number on the right side of the dot represent the tenths, the second represent the hundredths, the third the thousandths, the fourth ten thousandths, the fifth hundred thousandths, the sixth the millionths.

Using this information, we can write our number as 8 ones and one tenth and 4 hundredths and 3 thousandths and 2 ten thousandths and 6 hundred thousandths.

We can also group the numbers to reduce the sentence. 8 ones and one tenth is the same as eighty one tenths, for example. Since we have 6 digits, I'm going to group them in two triples.

Our number can also be written as eight hundred and fourteen hundredths and three hundred and twenty six hundred thousandths.
