Title: What comes after Trillion
Post by: frawin on February 24, 2010, 07:39:23 PM
At the rate the Democrats are running up the National debt we will soon have to move up to what comes after Trillions, I thought it would be a good time to post this so people will know what the "0" is talking about, when it comes. Actually someone asked me recently what comes after Trillion and I remembered it was quadrillion but I couldn't remember what came after that.


1,000 X 1 thousand = 1 million (106)
1,000 X 1 million = 1 billion (109)
1,000 X 1 billion = 1 trillion (1012)
1,000 X 1 trillion = 1 quadrillion (1015)
1,000 X 1 quadrillion = 1 quintillion (1018)
1,000 X 1 quintillion = 1 sextillion (1021)
1,000 X 1 sextillion = 1 septillion (1024)
1,000 X 1 septillion = 1 octillion (1027)
1,000 X 1 octillion = 1 nonillion (1030)
1,000 X 1 nonillion = 1 decillion (1033)
1,000 X 1 decillion = 1 undecillion (1036)
1,000 X 1 undecillion = 1 duodecillion (1039)

So how many is a gazillion?

This reminds me of the former president being told three Brazilian soldiers were killed in a plane crash and he says, "Oh, that's too bad. How many is a Brazilian anyway?"
