Thirty-four thousand three hundred forty-five

NO “AND”!

and means decimal point.

For example, 3.1 is three and one-tenth.

Be sure to not make the common mistake of including an unnecessary “and” often times in everyday language people will say “…three hundred AND fourty-five” In technical terms this is fundmentally wrong. The word “and” when used to express a number denotes a decimal point, thus the phrase “three hundred AND fourty-five” would read 300.45, assuming away the “hundreths” necessary to properly express the numerical term in words. So your rule is this: Only use the word “and” when there is a decimal point in the number you are translating into words.

With NO “and”. The “and” would indicate a value after the decimal, or a fraction after the whole number.

If the parentheses are part of your question, then the number is likely a negative amount i.e. negative thirty four thousand three hundred and forty five.

If the parentheses are something you added just eliminate the “negative”
