According to a
quick internet search 1,000 Trillion is called a
quadrillion. i had no idea, but with a little latin, its not hard to see why... bi-llion, tri-, quad- .... which quickly leads to the next question- 'what is 1,000 quadrillion'? You can find a list for all the
subsequent iterations here or see below for for the first few steps.

I have to be honest, until reading this I thought a "zillion" was an actual number. Guess not.
ReplyDeleteI really had never considered that mil-, bi-, and tri- all proceeded logically in order. Did everyone know and realize thats how we count above 7 figures?
ReplyDeleteWith the septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion there has to be some form of a pattern with september, october, november and december.

ReplyDeleteToday, the word “Google” is one of the most popular terms in the English language. It is used as a noun or a verb and one can actually find this word in many popular dictionaries. In relation to our discussion about large numbers, the word “Google” derives from a misspelling of the word “googol.” According to Wikipedia, googol “is the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeroes.” One of Google’s founders gave the search engine this name for his affection for mathematics. With Google’s giant number of search results the name “Google” is extremely fitting.
ReplyDeletewait, zillion's not a number? bob, this post is a lie and i refuse to believe it.

ReplyDeleteSept., Oct., Nov., and Dec. used to be the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months of the year, then caesar added July and August after himself and his son. That kinda screwed the names up.
