  • 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
