How many million is 34 billion?

Answer 1

• In countries that use the long scale (based on powers of a million), like Europe:

34 billion ÷ 1 million = 34 x (106)2 ÷ 106

= 34 x 106

= 34 million

• In countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus 1), like USA:

34 billion ÷ 1 million = 34 x (103)2+1 ÷ 106

= 34 x 103

= 34 thousand
