What is 10 to the power of 12 called?

Answer 1

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

1012 = (106)2

⇒ 2 implies bi-, therefore 1012 = one billion

• In countries that use the short scale (based on power of a thousand) like USA:

1012 = (103)4

⇒ 4 = 1 + 3; 3 implies tri-, therefore 1012 = one trillion

Answer 2
