數字的單位
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) |
