A question from south australia

how many million in one billion ?

 

 

Hi,

Your question is especially interesting, given that it comes from Australia. For numbers 1,000,000,000 and above there are two naming conventions, the American system and the British system. We have a lsit of the names that you can look at. In Canada we seem to use the American system. I am not sure which system is used in Australia.
