Best Answer

The number name "trillion" is used by two competing numbering systems.

On the "short scale" used in the US and officially now by the UK, the number name "trillion" means one thousand billion, or 1 x 1012, or 1,000,000,000,000.

On the "long scale of Europe, Latin America, and other areas of the world, a "trillion" is one million billion, which is one million million million. Under this scale a trillion is 1 x 1018, a much larger number.
