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.

How many Billions make a Trillion?

• 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 .

How many Millions in One Trillion?

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.

How to Convert Million to Trillion?

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.

How to convert Trillion to Million?

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.

How to Convert Billion to Trillion?

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.

How to Convert Trillion to Billion?

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.

Solved Examples

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
