what is a zillian?

Answer 1

A zillion is a fictional number, the term doesn't officially exist, the zed indicates the end of the alphabet therefore indicating that there must be a villion, yillion etc so that zillion must be the biggest number there is. The largest real number in common usage is a trillion after that, scientist start using powers, such as 239 with a little (I can't do it on here) 39 at the top right of the number, this means 239 to the power of 39, which I think is 239 multiplied by itself 39 times, which is a really big number.

Answer 2

Have not checked it out properly, but believe zillion [not zillian] is the next big number up from trillion - million, billion, trillion and then zillion.

By the way, if a man started counting from one at the moment of his birth, he would die before he uttered the word million.

Think of it like this. By the time a person got to such as, fifty five thousand, two hundred and thirty four - they would be speaking whole sentences. No one ever believes what I have explained but it is nevertheless true.
Don't forget, you've still got to say, fifty five thousand, two hundred and thirty five - etc. Looong way to go.

Answer 5

By analogy to the names billion, trillion, and so forth for large powers of ten, words such as zillion[1] and bazillion[2] are often used as fictitious names for an unspecified, large number of indefinite size, or as part of a large, indefinite measurement. These words are often used in hyperbole. The size is dependent upon the context to which it is used, but can typically be considered large enough to be unfathomable by the average human mind.
