What is 5.97 trillion times 46 billion?

Answer 1

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

5.97 trillion x 46 billion = 5.97 x (106)3 x 46 x (106)2

= 274.62 x (106)5

= 274.62 quintillion

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

5.97 trillion x 46 billion = 5.97 x (103)3+1 x 46 x (103)2+1

= 274.62 x (103)6+1

= 274.62 sextillion
