USA and Modern British ("short scale"):
1 quadrillion = 10^15
______ _____ ______ ______ ______
Traditional British value ("long scale"):
1 quadrillion = 10^24
______ ______ ______ _______ ______
For most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the United Kingdom uniformly used the long scale, while the United States of America used the short scale, so the two systems were often (and accurately at that time) referred to as "British" and "American" usage, respectively. Today, the United Kingdom uses the short scale more widely than the long scale (particularly in official and mass media usage), and the term "British usage" may no longer be an appropriate phrase.

In American System it is 10^15.
In British System it is 10^24.
(Number/ Number of Zeros/ American System/ British System
10^15/ 15/ quadrillion/ ---
10^24/ 24/ septillion/ quadrillion .)
(There are two systems in use for naming numbers larger than a million.
In the American system, the Latin prefix refers to the number of groups of three zeros, not including the last group of three, which represents a thousand. Thus in the USA, a billion is 1,000,000,000 (10^9) and a quadrillion is a mere 1,000,000,000,000,000. (10^15).
In the British system, which is in use in the rest of the world, the Latin prefix represents the power of a million, thus a British billion is 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12) and a British quadrillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^24). )

In America and in many English speaking countries, it is 10^15. This is called the "short scale"
In the rest of the world (and in traditional English) it is, naturally, a million to the fourth power= 10^24.
quad is from the Latin word for 4.

It's 10 to the 15th power - 1,000,000,000,000,000.
Or 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000 x 1,000.
or 1 billion x 1 million.
