There are two billions in use today.

Long and short billion.

The short billion is the one that is most widely used. The long billion was mainly used in the UK whilst the US used the short billion. Since globalisation, the short unit is now preferred.

  • Long: 1,000,000,000,000 a million million
  • Short: 1,000,000,000 a thousand million.

So 2 billion is 2, 000 millions in the short version.
