It depends how fast you count. Let's say once per second without stopping to rest...
1 sextillion = 10^21
(ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers)
1 year = 31 million seconds (rounded off) =~ 3x10^7 sec
Therefore counting once per second it will take about
(10^22)/(3x10^7) =~ 3x10^14 years = 300 trillion years.
To put that in perspective:
The Earth is 4.3 billion years old
The universe is 14 billion years old.
So it would take about 20,000 times the present age of the universe!!
Just like any other assignment, how soon you finish depends on how fast you count.If you count 10 every second, and never stop to eat, sleep, breathe, or anything else,you can reach 1 sextillion in under 3,168,808,782,000 years (rounded) ... which is onlyabout 219 times as long as today is since the Big Bang.
10 sextillion would be 10,000,000,000 trillion.
The next place value after sextillion is 10 sextillion
Well, honey, there are 10 million millions in a sextillion. So, if you do the math, that means there are a whopping 10,000 million millions in 10 sextillion. But hey, who's counting?
10 sextillion
It depends with your speed but it can take you 10^18 light years to count from 1 to 10 sextillion.

It is of the order of one hundred sextillion.
10 sextillion would be 10,000,000,000 trillion.

It used to be. Parts of the UK used the "long" scale where a sextillion was 10^36. The short scale values a sextillion at 10^21. -------------------- America uses the Short scale which is based on powers of a thousand plus one → a sextillion = (10³)⁶⁺¹ = (10³)⁷ = 10²¹ The UK used to use the Long scale based on powers of a million: → a sextillion = (10⁶)⁶ = 10³⁶ In the 1970s the then Prime Minister declared that all government publications would use the Short scale; the general populace then followed suit - at school in the 1970s the Long scale was taught but now the Short scale is taught. In the 2010s we have the current government wanting to stay in Europe which uses the Long scale - go figure.

115 days, 10 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds
10 sextillion.
10 sextillion
The US does a census every 7-10 years.
The number of seconds it will take is(10)/(the average number of counts you make in one second)
