What comes after a trillion? Is a jillion even a number?
1) It depends what you call “after”. – the next number after a trillion is “a trillion one”. – in the serie: million, billion, trillion, the next element is “quadrillion”. – if you are giving names to great numbers, and want to know how 1,000 trillions is called, it will depend on the counting system you are using, long or short scale. In the short scale, 1,000 trillions is a quadrillion. In the long scale, 1,000 trillions is a trilliard. 2) “The long and short scales are two different numerical systems used throughout the world: Short scale is the English translation of the French term échelle courte. It refers to a system of numeric names in which every new term is 1 000 times greater than the previous term: “billion” means “a thousand millions” (109), “trillion” means “a thousand billions” (1012), and so on. Long scale is the English translation of the French term échelle longue. It refers to a system of numeric names in which every new term greater than million is 1 000 000 times g
