"The X-ray emission of the radio galaxy is 1.3 × 10 45 joules." When a number such as 10 45 needs to be referred to in words, it is simply read out as "ten to the forty-fifth" or "ten to the forty-five".

This is the minimum number of characters needed to encode a 32 bit number into 5 printable characters in a process similar to MIME-64 encoding, since 85 5 is only slightly bigger than 2 32. Such method is 6.7% more efficient than MIME-64 which encodes a 24 bit number into 4 printable characters.

[7] In long scale countries, milliard was defined to its current value of 10 9, leaving billion at its original 10 12 value and so on for the larger numbers. [7] Some of these countries, but not all, introduced new words billiard, trilliard, etc. as intermediate terms.
For example, the Panchavimsha Brahmana lists 10 9 as nikharva, 10 10 vâdava, 10 11 akṣiti, while Śâṅkhyâyana Śrauta Sûtra has 10 9 nikharva, 10 10 samudra, 10 11 salila, 10 12 antya, 10 13 ananta.
