Depends:

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

10 billion trillion = 10 x (10^6)^2 x (10^6)^3 = 10 x (10^6)^5 = 10 quintrillion, so NO.

In those countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus one), eg USA:

10 billion trillion = 10 x (10^3)^(2+1) x (10^3)^(3 + 1) = 10 x (10^3)^(6+1) = 10 sextillion, so YES.
