Here is a
table. The
system used in the U.S. is not as logical as that used in other
countries (like
Great Britain, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion
(bi
meaning two) has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri
meaning
three) has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the
scientific
community seems to use the American system.
