The answer can differ depending on whether you're talking to a person from the USA or a person from Great Britain; we've historically used the word differently. (The same's true for the word "billion.")

To a person in the USA, a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 -- a million millions.

To a person in the UK, a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 -- a million million millions.

And, of course, Trillian is the name of a character in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," as well as a popular alternative instant message client.

It depends on what part of the world you are...

If you are in the USA, it would be:
1,000,000,000,000
(a million millions)

If you are in europe or latin america:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000
(a million million million)

If you are in Puerto Rico, you have to specify:
Is it an American Trillion or Latin American Trillion?

American = 10^12 =(1000000000000)
British = 10^18 = (1000000000000000000).

Here's how it works:

1,000 = one thousand

10,000 = ten thousand

100,000 = one hundred thousand

1,000,000 = one million

10,000,000 = ten million

100,000,000 = one hundred million

1,000,000,000 = one billion

10,000,000,000 = ten billion

100,000,000,000 = one hundred billion

1,000,000,000,000 = one trillion
