I wanted to known...

[Antoniofer]

I known that in english doesn't exist the "millardo", and call it billions instead (10ˆ9), but in espanish (or at least of where I come) billions means 10ˆ12; and now, I don't known what means trillion: is trillions 10ˆ12 or 10ˆ15?

 

[KamiYasha]

Well, Trillon in the in the Numeric Long Scale is 10^18

in the Numeric Short Scale is 10^12

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Trilions is the equivalent to your billions.

 

[Reppuzan]

A Trillion in English is 10^12 in English.

Quick. I'm poor at math.

Can someone explain that ^ thing.

Like what does 10^500 mean?

 

[KamiYasha]

This is something that happens in different sides of the world.

In my country we use the "," to separate decimals, in other places they use "."

To some people is confusing sometimes.

I'm still waiting for the day that all the world use the same Metric system, Numeric scale, etc.

^ means that the number has that many zeroes (Commonly anyway), so 10^3 means it has three zeroes.

 

[Professor_Voodoo]

OH

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

Oh that's what it means.

10^500 = 10 is multiplied 500 times itself
