The long and short scales are two different large-number naming systems used throughout the world. Many countries, including most in continental Europe, use the long scale whereas most English-speaking countries use the short scale.
The long scale billion is 1,000,000,000,000, while the short scale billion is 1,000,000,000.
one billion in the long scale is the same as one trillion in the short scale.
