| thousands | 2 | two thousand |
| final group | 002 | two |
2,002 splits into 2 | 002. The left group gives “two thousand”; the right group contributes only “two”.
The comma boundary separates 2 from 002: “two thousand” is read before “two”.
The hundreds and tens positions contain zero. They preserve place value in the numeral but add no spoken word.
