what is 12,345,678,987,654,321 in words?

Question

can it be called 12 million billion etc or is dat wrong

Answer 1

Twelve zillion, three hundred forty-five trillion, six hundred seventy-eight billion, nine hundred eighty-seven million, six hundred fifty-four thousand, three hundred twenty-one.

Answer 2

OK, so we have a discrepancy amongst American English and British English - the Milliard and Billiard are ONLY British - please don't confuse the American children who are already struggling with place value.

Also- a side note 12 cannot be in a PLACE. Only single digits can be in a place - example 12,000 the 2 is in the thousands, the 1 is in the ten-thousands place.

But anyway back to your question....
I believe in today's common society you could say it is over 12 million billions - where 12 thousand is your number and billions just becomes a label (like saying 25 dogs.) But that's just me, and I'm sure there are a bunch who say I'm wrong. I don't think I would mark it wrong on a test and if you are trying to convey this amount to another person they may have a better understanding of what 12 million billions looks like rather than a quadrillion.
