On an international forum, it is important to distinguish between the British and American systems of naming big numbers. They're the same up to a million. After that, Americans multiply by a thousand to get a billion, another thousand to get a trillion, etc. The Brits multiply by a million each time, instead of a thousand.

The Brits name for the American "billion" is one thousand millions. The American name for the British "billion" is a trillion.

It's better to use scientific notation.
American 1.7 billion = 1.7 *10^9
British 1.7 billion = 1.7 *10^12

A billion, in the American and some English speaking nations' convention consists of 1 and none zeroes (ciphers):

1,000,000,000

It consists of a thousand million.

Thus 1.7 million is actually a billion plus 700 million, written as follows:

1,700,000,000

Happy counting ... and have a nice day.

One thousand seven hundred millions.= 1.7 x10^9

thousand has 3 zeros i.e 1,000

million has 6 zeros i.e. 1,000,000
(thousand thousands = million)

billion has 9 zeros i.e. 1,000,000,000
(thousand million = billion)

1.7 billion = 1,000,000,000 * 1.7 = 1,700,000,000
