The UK has, for some time now, adopted the standard use, that is 1 billion = 1000 million.
The British billion was once : 1,000,000,000,000 (one million million). Then the US billion was accepted as standard in the UK: 1,000,000,000 (1 thousand million). Therefore: 700,000,000,000 is seven hundred billion.
A billion in numerical figures is 1000000000 in the UK. In the US it is 1000000
In the US, 15.2 billion is 15,200,000,000. In the UK, 15.2 billion is 15,200,000,000,000.
In France and the United States, a billion is 1000 million, i.e. the increment is in thousands of millions. So 23 billion would be written 23,000,000,000 In the UK and Germany it is customary to increment the nomenclature of high numbers by millions, so a billion is 1 million million, or 1,000,000,000,000. So, in those countries 23 billion would be 23,000,000,000,000
There are two "types" of Billion. Long and short.A billion in the UK, used to be a million million. However, the Americans, for some unknown reason, decided to call a billion a 1,000 million. Probably so they could be billionaires a lot quicker.So:Long: 1,000,000,000,000Short: 1,000,000,000The long is now hardly used and the short is now the accepted usage.
