Large Numbers to Words Table | Large Number Literals | Scientific Notations of Large Numbers
Big numbers represent incredibly large quantities. They are used to count things that are too numerous to keep track of with smaller units like thousands or millions. Here's a breakdown of each:
- Million: This is a relatively common term and signifies one thousand multiplied by itself two times (1,000,000). You might use millions to describe the population of a large city.
- Billion: This represents one thousand multiplied by itself three times (1,000,000,000). It's used for even larger quantities, like national budgets or global internet users.
- Trillion: This is one thousand multiplied by itself four times (1,000,000,000,000). Amounts in the trillions are very rare in everyday life.
Following trillion, the naming system becomes less common and more standardized. Here, the naming convention relies on a base of one thousand and a suffix based on the Greek numerals for each power of one thousand.
