If there is no additional interest on the debt, so that it doesn't grow during

the time you're paying it off, then at the rate of $5,000 per second, you can

pay off $16 trillion in only 101.4 years.

How much money would you have to spend every second to spend a trillion dollars?

You could spend a fraction of a penny every second and spend a trillion dollars over a very long time. However to spend a trillion dollars in a certain amount of time it's $(1000000000 / Months * 2678400) per second. So over 5 months it would be about $76.67 per second.

How many years would it take to spend a trillion dollars at one thousand dollars per second?

There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year, so if you spend a thousand dollars per second, you would be spending 31, 536,000,000 dollars per year. So, if I divide a trillion by 31,536,000,000 the result is 31.7 years.

How many zeros are in ten million trillion?

1000 billion dollars!!!!\ woah dog! ============================================================== Here are some other perspectives on 1 trillion dollars: Consider that light travels at about 186,000 miles per second. This time is called a light-second and is often used in astrophysical discussions. A light-second is also about 983,571,056 feet (that's how many feet are in 186,000 miles). This is almost 1 billion. Now, since a dollar bill is 6 inches long, there are almost 2 billion 1 dollar bills in a stretch that covers 186,000 miles - and it would take light 1 second to travel the length of 2 billion dollar bills. Now consider the distance from the earth to the sun - average is about 93,000,000 miles. Converting this to feet, and accounting that it takes 2 dollar bills to make a foot, we find that it takes 982,080,000,000 dollar bills to go from here to the sun - end-to-end. This is almost (within 1.8%) 1 trillion dollars. If we actually stretched the 1 trillion dollars from here to the sun, it would take light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to go from one end to the other. That's what a trillion dollars is.

If you spent a million dollars a second how long to spend a trillion dollars?

a trillion is a million times a million, therefore it would be a million seconds. Divide this by 3600 (seconds in an hour) and you will get 277.77 hours. divide that by 24 and you will have 11.574 days i.e. 11 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes, and 34 seconds.
