A number like 147,000 could be read as one hundred forty-seven thousands

(The following is US usage.)

147,000 is pronounced: "One hundred forty-seven thousand." (Not "thousands.")

1,470,000 is pronounced: "One million four hundred seventy thousand."

14,700,000 is pronounced: "Fourteen million seven hundred thousand."

American style is ...forty-seven thousand.
Also, we break up the numbers at every 3 digits. So your two numbers would be written:
1,470,000 (one million, four hundred and seventy thousand)
14,700,000 (fourteen million, seven hundred thousand).

Okay?

The form without 'and' is uncommon, **** not unknown in

So is the form without it.

Indeed it is. However, your previous post suggested that the 'and' form was not, which is why I added my comment.

It's almost unknown in the UK. I've only heard one, foreign visitor use it once. They were definitely not a native English speaker.

Fine. I said it was uncommon. However, I have heard British speakers use it, and there are several citations in the British National Corpus.

There are differences between BrE and AmE, and some of them can cause misunderstandings, but there is rather more overlap than you appear to suggest sometimes in your posts.
