How do you write 35.08 billion?

Answer 1

• As I use the long scale based on powers of a million (and used in countries like Europe), I write it as:

35.08 billion = 35.08 x (106)2

= 35.08 x 1012

= 35,080,000,000,000

• Others, however, use the short scale based on powers of a thousand plus one (and used in countries like USA), and write it as:

35.08 billion = 35.08 x (103)2+1

= 35.08 x 109

= 35,080,000,000
