In our (positional) numerical system, the first digit form the right represents the units, and going leftwards, every digit is worth 10 times more than its previous one.

So, in your number, the 9 to the right means "9 units", because it's the rightmost digit.

On the other hand, the leftmost 9 is worth 9 millions, because you shift 6 positions from the right, and the digits are worth:

  • 1st digit from the right: units
  • 2nd digit from the right: tens
  • 3rd digit from the right: hundreds
  • 4th digit from the right: thousands
  • 5th digit from the right: tens of thousands
  • 6th digit from the right: hundreds of thousands
  • 7th digit from the right: millions
