Speaking from an AmE standpoint:
Use 1.266 trillion. Thousands aren't standardly used in the beginning of a number. (Use the higher suffix, trillion instead of billion.)
236,200,000,000 is 236.2 billion
These are the easiest ways to write a big number that make sense to the most people.
There's also scientific notation, 1.266 trillion becomes 1.27 X 10^12
