<p>You would usually say "dix neuf millions cent soixante dix huit" in "Standard" French.</p>
<p>In some areas (eg Wallonie, Belgium), one would say "dix neuf millions cent septante huit".</p>
<p>You would say "dix neuf virgule cent septante huit millions" only if you have to/wish to use the million as a unit.</p>

<p>I would definitely go for the former formulation .It sounds much nicer.But I think you would say "dix-neuf mille ,(v<strong>i</strong>rgule ) cent soixante-huit millions "</p>
<p>I am not sure if you would need to say "virgule".</p>
<p>I have never come across (as an example) "un sept huit" being used to express 178 in French although mathematicians must do it all the time. </p>
