How many zeros in a billion?

Answer 1

Nine in the U.S. and the scientific community, where a billion is a thousand million.

In the U.K. and other European countries, a billioin is computed as a million million, and has 12 zeros.

"The system used in the U.S. is not as logical as that used in other countries (like Great Britain, France, and Germany). In these other countries, a billion (bi meaning two) has twice as many zeros as a million, and a trillion (tri meaning three) has three times as many zeros as a million, etc. But the scientific community seems to use the American system."

So, it depends on where you're coming from, so to speak.

Answer 8

It depends on whether you're using the British or American definition. In America, a billion has 9 zero's (1,000,000,000) but in Britain a billion has 12 zero's (1,000,000,000,000) - although ever more commonly the American definition is being used (even in Britain).

Answer 10

In the United States and scientific measurement, a billion is one thousand million. That'd be a figure of 1 followed by nine zeroes.

The United Kingdom's old measurement of a billion was ONE MILLION million - and that was a one followed by twelve zeroes.

To all intents and purposes, the US billion is the one that's recognised worldwide, in science, finance and even here in the UK. One million million is nowadays known as a /trillion/, even here in Blighty.
