The same as a billion in the US. A thousand million.
However, a long time ago, a 'British billion' was a million million, ie. a thousand times bigger than a US billion. The term 'billiard' is sometimes used to mean 'British billion' to clear up the confusion.
Everybody in the UK uses the same definition as in the US though.
USA:1,000,000,0001,000,000,000 (number), one thousand billion, 109THE UK:1,000,000,000,000 (number), one million billion, 1012Depends where you are, the USA billion has nine zeroes, the UK billion has twelve zeroes.hoped this helped
The value 1 billion regardless of whether it is 1 billion in the US, UK or Canada is always: 1,000,000,000
The UK owes America 578.6 billion Euros America owes the UK 834.5 billion Euros
1000000 = one million 1000000000 = one US billion 1000000000000 = one UK billion So one million is 1000 US billion, and 1000000 UK billion, although common practice in the UK nowadays is to use the US definition.
The UK has officially adopted 109 as the billion
A billion is a thousand million. YES, even in the UK!
The UK has, for some time now, adopted the standard use, that is 1 billion = 1000 million.
In the US, 15.2 billion is 15,200,000,000. In the UK, 15.2 billion is 15,200,000,000,000.
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.
