Let's start with an easier one... 0.99 is "ninety-nine hundredths". If you have trouble with that one, think of it like money. $0.99 is 99/100 of a dollar. So we just say the actual number formed by the non-zero digits (ninety-nine), and then tack on the label for the right-most place value (here that's hundredths since it goes, from right to left, tenths, hundredths).
So in your example, we have (you probably have a chart for this somewhere) tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten-thousandths, hundred-thousandths, millionths, ten-millionths, hundred-millionths.
So the number is six thousand, one hundred eighty-four hundred-thousandths.
