Hint: In this question, we have been asked to write the given number in words. In order to be able to answer this question, we should know that the given number is written in which system – Indian system or International system. After you are able to understand the system in which the number is written, write the number in the word form.

Complete step by step answer:
We are given a number - $560,654$. Before answering this, let us read about the two system of numbers.
We have been taught about the two systems of numbers. They are:
1) Indian Numeral System- The place values in this system goes as follows:
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, Crores, Ten Crores and so on.
2) International Numeral System- The place values in this system goes as follows:
Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Hundred Thousand, Millions, Ten Million, Hundred Million, Billion and so on
But how shall we differentiate between the two? We can differentiate between the two by understanding the place at which the comma is put.
In Indian Numeral System, a comma is placed after the hundred and then, it is placed after every two digits. On the other hand, in the International Numeral System, commas are placed after every three digits, i.e., after every hundred.
Now, let us move towards the given number.
We are given $560,654$. As we can see that a comma is placed after three digits and then there is no comma after that, this number is written in the International Numeral System.

Hundred Thousand	Ten Thousand	Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones
$5$	$6$	$0$	$6$	$5$	$4$

Hence, this is our answer. In words – Five hundred sixty thousand six hundred fifty-four

Note: What would have been our answer if the number were given in Indian Numeral System?
Firstly, it would have been written as $5,60,654$. In words, we would have written it as –

Lakhs	Ten Thousand	Thousands	Hundreds	Tens	Ones
$5$	$6$	$0$	$6$	$5$	$4$

Five lakhs sixty thousand six hundred fifty-four
This is one example in Indian Numeral System.
