Default Reformatting numbers in cells

We have a report which is printed without commas in the numbers but with a
preceding number and a slash. For example,
09/834602. The users would like the "834602" to read "834,602" but I can't
figure out how to do this because of the presence of the 09/. I am VERY new
to this. Thank you very much for your help.
