In the short scale system:

1 billion = 109 (1 thousand3)

1 trillion = 1012 (1 thousand4)

so 1 trillion = 1,000 billion

In the long scale system

1 billion = 1012 (1 million2)

1 trillion = 1018 (1 million3)

so 1 trillion = 1,000,000 billion.

The US uses the short scale. Until 1974 the UK used the long scale for official statistics and now uses the short scale. Most continental Europe uses the long scale.
