hi
It depends where you are!
1,000,000,000 in the USA [one thousand million]
1,000,000,000,000 in the UK [one million million]
It is the same with trillion:
1,000,000,000,000 in the USA [one million million]
or
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 in the UK [one million million million]
So it is better to be a UK billionaire :)

1000 millions in a billion 1000 billions in a trillon
1 billion =10^9 = 1000 000 000 so 9 zeroes
1 trillion =10^12 = 1000 000 000 000 so 12 zeroes

1000 million in a billion and 1000 billion in a trillion (in the USA. It's different in Europe I think)

1,000 to both questions.
There are 1,000 millions in a billion, and 1,000 millions in a trillion.
Each one adds three zeros.
So a thousand has 3 zeros.
A million has 6 zeros.
A billion has 9 zeros.
A trillion has 12 zeros.
