A million times a billion is a trillion. To understand this, let’s break it down:
- 1 million = 1,000,000
- 1 billion = 1,000,000,000
When you multiply these two numbers:
1,000,000 × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000
This result is known as a trillion. In numerical terms, a trillion is represented as 1 followed by 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000).
Understanding large numbers like these is essential in fields such as finance, economics, and science, where such figures are commonly used.
