When the French mathematician Nicholas Chuquet invented the system of million, billions, trillions, etc. in 1492, there was no America (Columbus hadn't set sail!) and no American system either.
In the long (British) scale, each new name has 6 more zeroes than the previous one, Thus 1 billion is 10^12 and is a million million. 1 Trillion is 10^18 and is a million billion. 1 Quadrillion is 10^24 and is a million trillion.
1 Quintillion = 10^30
I Sextillion = 10^36
1 Septillion = 10^42
1 Octillion = 10^48
I Nonillion = 10^54
1 Decillion = 10^60
and so on up to
1 Vigintillion = 10^120 (French word vingt = 20)
The American (short) scale came later and in it each new name is a thousand times the previous one. Thus 1 Billion = 10^9 = a thousand Million. 1 Trillion = 10^12 = a thousand Billion. 1 Quadrillion = 10^15 = a thousand Trillion.
1 Decillion = 10^33
1 Vigintillion = 10^63
A googol (10^100) is therefore larger than an American vigintillion but smaller than a British vigintillion.
A million is a thousand thousands on both scales. But thereafter they diverge,

Million=10^6 [6 zeros]
Billion=10^9 [9zeros]

Depends. If in the US, billion = 9, million = 6.
In Brittain, billion = 12, million = 9

1 Million= 1000000 (there are 6 zero after 1)
1 Billion= 100000000(there are 8 zeros after 1)

million means - 100 crore - 9 zeros
billion means - 100 million - 11 zeros

A thousand has three zeros after it
Fourteen thousand would be 14,000
A million has six zeros after it
Seven million would be 7,000,000
A billion has nine zeros after it
Two billion would be 2,000,000,000
A trillion has twelve zeros after it
Eleven trillion would be 11,000,000,000,000
a quadrillion has fifteen zeros after it
Four quadrillion would be 4,000,000,000,000,000
I'm going to stop, as I am sure you get the idea.

1,000,000 = 1 million
1,000,000,000 = 1 billion
