How many zeros are in 1 billion in Australia?

Answer 1

Australia and almost all English-speaking countries use the term "billion" to mean 1 x 109, with 9 zeroes. This is on the "short scale" where number names are added by thousands, i.e. a billion is a thousand million.

The "long scale" used in other countries, especially in Europe and Latin America, adds number names by millions, so that a billion is a million million, or 1 x 1012, with 12 zeroes.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, in Australia, just like in the rest of the world, there are nine zeros in a billion. It's not like they have their own special math down under or anything. So, yeah, one billion in Australia has the same amount of zeros as it does everywhere else. Cool, right?

Answer 3

In Australia, as in most English-speaking countries, a billion is typically understood as one thousand million. Therefore, in 1 billion, there are nine zeros. This is because one billion is written as 1,000,000,000, with each zero representing a factor of 10 to the power of the position it occupies.
