Technically the UK Billion is 1,000,000,000,000, 1012 or a million million. This is the US Trillion.

However it is now generally excepted that

  • 1,000,000 = 106 = a million,
  • 1,000,000,000 = 109 = a billion &
  • 1,000,000,000,000 =1012 = a trillion
  • 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1015 = a quadrillion

What was the difference between an American million and an English million?

There is no difference between the long scale million and a short scale million. There is a difference between the billion in these two scales. The American use the short scale so 1 billion to them is 1,000,000,000 or 10^9. We used to use the long scale so 1 billion is 1,000,000,000,000 or 10^12. It should be noted that for simplicity reasons especially with currency the UK have switched to the short scale system as well.

Does the number 1 billion have the same value in England as in the US?

Yes, one billion represents the same number in both countries. Now it does. But in the past, in the UK, 1 billion was 1,000,000,000,000. In the US 1 billion was 1,000,000,000. (The British called the American 1 billion one thousand million.) The UK has now adopted the American system, so it is the same in both countries.
