  2. Trillion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillion

    Trillion. Visualization of 1 trillion (short scale) A Rubik's cube, which has about 43 trillion (long scale) possible positions. Trillion is a number with two distinct definitions: 1,000,000,000,000, i.e. one million million, or 10 12 (ten to the twelfth power), as defined on the short scale. This is now the meaning in both American and British ...

  3. Names of large numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers

    This section illustrates several systems for naming large numbers, and shows how they can be extended past vigintillion. Traditional British usage assigned new names for each power of one million (the long scale): 1,000,000 = 1 million; 1,000,0002 = 1 billion; 1,000,0003 = 1 trillion; and so on. It was adapted from French usage, and is similar ...

  4. Long and short scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales

    In written communications, the simplest solution for moderately large numbers is to write the full amount, for example 1,000,000,000,000 rather than 1 trillion (short scale) or 1 billion (long scale). Combinations of the unambiguous word million, for example: 10 9 = "one thousand million"; 10 12 = "one million million". [66]

    It produces about 14 digits of π per term [131] and has been used for several record-setting π calculations, including the first to surpass 1 billion (10 9) digits in 1989 by the Chudnovsky brothers, 10 trillion (10 13) digits in 2011 by Alexander Yee and Shigeru Kondo, [132] and 100 trillion digits by Emma Haruka Iwao in 2022.

    Super PI by Kanada Laboratory [98] in the University of Tokyo is the program for Microsoft Windows for runs from 16,000 to 33,550,000 digits. It can compute one million digits in 40 minutes, two million digits in 90 minutes and four million digits in 220 minutes on a Pentium 90 MHz. Super PI version 1.9 is available from Super PI 1.9 page.
