While Iâm disappointed in tonightâs outcome, I look forward to the bill being brought back to the House floor when a simple majority vote can get it passed.
so 1 trillion has 13 digits (a '1' followed by twelve '0's). * In those countries that use the long scale (based on powers of a million) like Europe: 1 trillion = (10^6)^3 = 10^18 which is 1 followed by 18 zeros, ie 19 digits.
In the English speaking world, at least, there's already disagreement about what the word billion means. In the United States, it means 109 in Great Britain, it means 1012. The Brits add 6 zeroes per step up, and we add 3. So a British trillion is 1018. In a sense, the British system makes more sense â billion, trillion, quadrillion, etc., indicate 2, 3, and 4 from the roots of the names. If you think of them as meaning 2, 3, and 4 groups of 6 zeroes, everything makes good sense â and it makes no sense in the U.S. system..
