A
Trillion
is just a number with two different definitions.
-
1 million million ie 1,000,000,000,000 or 10
12
is defined as short trillion. This is the meaning of trillions in both British and American English.
-
10
18
or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 is larger than a trillion on the short scale. A trillion on the long scale is a million times larger than a trillion on the short scale. This is the historic meaning of trillion in English and is currently used in various non-English speaking countries where trillion and billion retain their long definitions.
In the
American system
, 1 trillion equals one thousand thousand million, or 10 to the 12th. In contrast, in the British system, 1 trillion is equal to a million million million, or 10 to the 18th. Although the American system was common in the United States and Britain, American definitions are accepted today. However, historical and geographical differences must also be taken into account. This helped create "trillion" to develop a standardized terminology for representing large numbers in a more logical form than the American one.

In the US, modern Australian and British, short scalw a thousand billion equals one trillion, represented as 1,000,000,000,000 or 10
12
.
-
In the older British, Australian, long scale, one million billion equals one trillion, which is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 10
18
.
A British trillion used to be the equivalent of one million US trillions, but now the two are mostly similar.
One trillion dollars is known as one million dollars multiplied by one million, or one million million, equal to one trillion.
Examples:
-
The Earth is about a trillion meters away from the Moon
-
There are about three trillion trees on Earth
-
The galaxy contains about a trillion stars
-
The human body contains about 90 trillion bacteria and about 100 trillion cells.
-
There are about 3 trillion different fish in the ocean.
-
A terameter is a trillion meters, where prefix "tera-" means a trillion.
-
Let's assume a cube is made of a million smaller cubes. All the small cubes are worth a million dollars; then, the whole cube is worth a trillion dollars.
To convert million to trillion
, use the following formula:
1 Million = 1E - 06 Trillion
Accordingly, we can convert millions to trillions by multiplying the value given in million by 1.0E - 06. For example, to convert 5 million to trillions, the calculation is
5 Million = 5 1.0E - 06 or 5E - 6 trillion
Therefore, 5 million is equal to 5.0E - 6 trillion.
Formula to convert trillion to million:
1 Trillion = 1000000 Millions
So, we can convert a trillion to a million by multiplying the value given in a trillion by 1000000. For example, to convert 6 trillion to a million, the calculation is
6 Trillion = 6 x1000000 or 6000000 million
Therefore, 6 trillion equals 6000000 million.
Formula to convert billion to trillion is:
1 Billion = 0.0001 Trillion
So, we can convert a billion to a trillion by multiplying the value given in a billion by 0.0001. For example, to convert 6 billion to trillion, the calculation is a
6 Billion = 6x0.0001 or 0.0006 trillion
Therefore, 5 billion is equal to 0.0006 trillion.
Formula to convert trillion to billion is:
1 trillion = 1000 billion
So, we can convert a trillion to a billion by multiplying the value given in trillion by 1000. For example, to convert 6 trillion to a billion, the calculation is
6 Trillion = 6 x 1000 or 6000 billion
Therefore, 6 trillion is equal to 6000 billion.
Q1. Convert 5 Million to Trillions?
Ans.
To convert million to trillion :
1 Million = 1E - 06 Trillion
Similarly,
5 Million = 5 x 1E - 06 = 5.0E - 6 Trillion
So, 5 million is equal to 5.0E - 6 trillion
Q2. Convert 6 Trillion to Million
Ans.
To convert trillions to millions:
1 Trillion = 1000000 Millions
Similarly,
6 Trillions = 6 x1000000 or 6000000 million
Therefore, 6 trillion is equal to 6000000 million.
Q3. Convert 8 Billions to Trillions
Ans.
To convert billion to trillion:
1 Billion = 0.0001 Trillion
Similarly,
8 Billions = 8x0.0001 or 0.0008 trillion
Therefore, 8 billion is equal to 0.0008 trillion

Q1. How many zeroes in a trillion?
Ans.
There are 9 Zeroes in a trillion.
Q2. How to convert 1 trillion in Billion?
Ans.
The conversion factor for trillion to billion is:
1 trillion = 1000 billion
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 1 trillion to billion by multiplying 1000 by the number of trillions we have, which is 1.
1 x 1000 = 1000 billion
Q3. How many billions are there in a trillion?
Ans.
1,000 billions.
Q4. How many crores are in a trillion?
Ans.
1 crore is equal to 10 million, and 1 lakh crore is equal to 1 trillion.
Q5. How many thousands are in a trillion?
Ans.
One Trillion is equal to 1000000000 Thousands.
