There are two scales for numbers used in different countries:

Short scale where each number greater than million (billion, trillion etc.) is 1 000 times greater than previous number, and

Long scale where each number greater than million is 1 000 000 times greater than previous, thus making trillion 1018.

Short scale is generally used more often. ========================================== See the following link for more details http://www.answers.com/long+and+short+scale?gwp=11&ver=2.4.0.651&method=3
