One trillion and one

Frigin engineers humor. Brilliant.

Quadrillion is the actual answer you are looking for 😄

Never see that in the wild though. Weird.

Yeah I've heard "a million, billion" used more. It's also a huge number that just isn't something that describes anything we talk about often.

If someone said “a million billion” to me I’d think they were very special.

What comes after microsats?

A quadrillion.

Seems we should hear or see that word used more.

thousand, million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, undecillion, duodecillion, tredecillion, quattuordecollion .....

🤯🤯

*quattuordecillion

1 followed by 45 zeros

Scientists solved this problem long ago. 1e45, etc.

Keep adding 3.

💪

Seems inappropriately appropriate for a response. Touché.

We should switch to scientific notation at this point.

One = 1e0

Ten = 1e1

Hundred = 1e2

Thousand = 1e3

Ten thousand = 1e4

Hundred thousand = 1e5

Million = 1e6

Billion = 1e9

Trillion = 1e12

Quadrillion = 1e15

Quintillion = 1e18

Etc.

Also simplifies combinations. E.g. One hundred billion = One * Hundred * Billion = 1e0 * 1e2 * 1e9 = 1e(0+2+9) = 1e11

I’ve seen those when my old calculator broke.

There are numbers that havent been named yet, but fear not citizens. Our tyrants will name them when the printers deem it worthy

A zillion.

Yup.
