Randy's answer is correct.
Just extra information for fun; US speakers have an interesting way to say numbers in the "thousands" (4 digit numbers).
E.g.
"2000" - UK and US will say "two thousand".
"2222" - UK and US say "two thousand two hundred and twenty-two".
But "2200" - UK will say "two thousand two hundred", but often US will say "twenty-two hundred"!
So don't be confused or surprised when you hear it!

These are "numbers." Your question is "How do you say these numbers?" A "digit" is any one of the single characters 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. "22,222" is a five-digit number.
