Depends on whether you're in the U.S. or Europe.
In the U.S., a "billion" is 1000 million.
In much of Europe, a "billion" is a million millions.
In any case, your friend is wrong :-)

A previous poster got this right, but I'll confirm.
In the US, there are 1,000 million in 1 billion.
In Britain, there are 1,000,000 million in 1 billion. What Americans call "one billion", British call "one thousand million".
The US Congress calls it, "pocket change".

Two different answers:
In Europe, a million million equals a Billion
In USA a thousand million equals a Billion.
You figure it out.

1 million x 1000= 1 billion.
1 billion looks like this: 1,000,000,000.
10 million x 1 billion would look like this:
10,000,000,000,000,000 (that's 10 quadrillion)

Just as it takes 10 sets of 100,000 (one hundred thousand) to equal 1,000,000(one million)
it takes 10 sets of 100,000,000(one hundred million) to equal 1,000,000,000(one billion)
and every knows that 10(# of sets) x 100(number of millions)= 1000(# of millions it takes to get a billion)
