Dan, let's break this number up into two smaller and more manageable parts.
(i) 136000
There are 136 times of a thousand (1000). Therefore, we can write "one hundred and thirty-six thousand"
Do note that a hyphen is needed to separate the "ones" from the tens". Examples:
45: forty-five
45000: 45x1000. (Forty-five thousand)
If the number is twenty or less, a hyphen is not needed.
Examples:
17: seventeen (not seven-teen)
(ii) 311000000
There are 311 times of a million (1000000).
Therefore, we can write: Three hundred and eleven million.
(Remember that eleven is smaller than twenty, so a hyphen is not needed).
Joining both (i) and (ii), we write: Three hundred and eleven million, one hundred and thirty-six thousand.
Hope this helps.
