  2. Names of large numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers

    The naming procedure for large numbers is based on taking the number n occurring in 10 3n+3 (short scale) or 10 6n (long scale) and concatenating Latin roots for its units, tens, and hundreds place, together with the suffix -illion. In this way, numbers up to 10 3·999+3 = 10 3000 (short scale) or 10 6·999 = 10 5994 (long scale

    For example 1,000,000,000,000 rather than 1 trillion (short scale) or 1 billion (long scale). This method becomes unwieldy for very large numbers. Combinations of the unambiguous words such as ten, hundred, thousand and million. For example: one thousand million and one million million. [5]

    Order of magnitude is a concept used to discuss the scale of numbers in relation to one another. Two numbers are "within an order of magnitude" of each other if their ratio is between 1/10 and 10. In other words, the two numbers are within about a factor of 10 of each other. [1] For example, 1 and 1.02 are within an order of magnitude.

    Thus the "order of magnitude" of a number (on a larger scale than usually meant), can be characterized by the number of times (n) one has to take the to get a number between 1 and 10. Thus, the number is between 10 ↑ ↑ n {\displaystyle 10\uparrow \uparrow n} and 10 ↑ ↑ ( n + 1 ) {\displaystyle 10\uparrow \uparrow (n+1)} .
