Now I have it:
"[the program] returns **integers from** the units, tens, hundreds....up to (one) hundred millions **column**..."

You can say "one hundred millions" or simply "hundred millions," but you can't say "hundreds of millions" in a math text (you could say it in the vernacular).

Example:
Therefore, place 7 directly to the right of the five on the left of the abacus (**hundred millions column**) and replace 7 with 1 at the extreme right. ...

... the 7th stands for a million, the 8th stands for ten millions, the 9th stands
for **one hundred millions**, the 10th stands for one thousand millions, ...
