how many millions in a trillion

There are 1 million millions in a trillion. The Breakdown (Short Scale) Most English-speaking countries use the short scale naming system for large numbers: 1 Million = 1,000,000 (1 followed by 6 zeros) 1 Billion = 1,000,000,000 (1 followed by 9 zeros, or 1,000 millions) 1 Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 (1

There are 1 million millions in a trillion.

The Breakdown (Short Scale)

Most English-speaking countries use the short scale naming system for large numbers:

• 1 Million = 1,000,000 (1 followed by 6 zeros)
• 1 Billion = 1,000,000,000 (1 followed by 9 zeros, or 1,000 millions)
• 1 Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 12 zeros, or 1,000 billions)

To find how many millions are in a trillion, you multiply the steps: $$1,000 \text{ (millions in a billion)} \times 1,000 \text{ (billions in a trillion)} = \mathbf{1,000,000 \text{ millions}} [0.5.23]$$

Global Exception (Long Scale)

In some non-English speaking countries (and historically in older British English), a "long scale" system is used. In that system, a billion is a million millions, and a trillion is a million million millions (10), which would mean it contains 1 trillion millions.
