A trillion is written as 1,000,000,000,000 |

however
In 1974, the government of the UK switched
to the short scale, a change that is reflected in its mass media and
official usage.
since then the uk and the united states use the same [but you have to
watch them ]
so this
is based on the short scale system
|
For most of the 19th
and 20th centuries, the United
Kingdom uniformly
used the long scale, while the United
States of America used
the short scale,[ see diagram] so that the
two systems were often referred to as British and American
