Because in the US it is considered that 1,000 x 1,000 should be called one billion, whereas in the UK it is considered that 1,000 x 1,000 should be called one thousand thousands, and that 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000 should be called one billion.
There are 9 zeros in 75 billion in the US and current UK short scale. This is 75,000,000,000. There are 12 zeros in 75 billion in the older UK long scale. This is 75,000,000,000,000.
The value 1 billion regardless of whether it is 1 billion in the US, UK or Canada is always: 1,000,000,000
six. The million is the same, the billion is different, 12 zeros in Europe. The US billion with 9 zeros is the European milliard.
12 - the same as in the US.
In the US, one billion is written as the numeral one followed by 9 zeros (1,000,000,000). So, in the US, a billion has ten (10) digits. A billion has a very different meaning in the UK.

9, in the US and current UK short scale. 12, in the older UK long scale.
Forty-nine thousand five hundred million, or forty-nine point five billion. In the UK we've mostly adopted the US definition of billion, which has 9 zeros - billion in the UK used to mean 12 zeros.

In the "short scale" used in the US and officially in the UK, there are 12 zeroes in "one trillion" (one thousand billion).
12 - the same as in the US.

In the US:1 billion = 1091 billion billion = 1018That's '1' followed by 18 zeros, for a grand total of 19 digits.But in the UK:1 billion = 10121 billion billion = 1024That's '1' followed by 24 zeros, for a grand total of 25 digits.
In US and in Scientific Community 1 billion = 10000000000 (or 9 zeros), for any other Country 1 Billion = 1000000000000 (or 12 zeros) Now for 4.3 billion as per US standards is equal to 4300000000, similarly for any other location is it 4300000000000
12 billion is 12,000 million, in the US and present UK Short Scale. 12 billion is 12,000,000 million, in the former UK Long Scale.
In the U.S., a billion is a thousand million, so Nine zeros.
