Default Zeroooooo's

I was surprised to find out a 'billion' U.S. is a thousand million in other countries.

A 'billion' in some countries is actually a trillion U.S.


Million, Billion, Trillion...

People sometimes ask me the names of the large numbers. Here is a table. The system used in the U.S. is not as logical as that used in other countries (like Great Britain, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion (bi meaning two) has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri meaning three) has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the scientific community seems to use the American system.

Number of zeros/ U.S. & scientific community /Other countries
3 ............................thousand .............thousand
6 ..............................million............. ....million
9................................ billion...............1000 million (1 milliard)
12 ...............................trillion........... ......billion
15.............................quadrillion........ ....1000 billion
18.............................quintillion........ .......trillion
21...............................sextillion....... .......1000 trillion
24...............................septillion ............quadrillion
27..............................octillion......... .....1000 quadrillion
30............................. nonillion...............quintillion
33...............................decillion........ .....1000 quintillion
36.............................undecillion........ ....sextillion
39............................duodecillion........ ...1000 sextillion
42............................tredecillion ............septillion

This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." (Albert Einstein)
