After a billion , the next large number is a trillion. Here’s a quick overview of the sequence of large numbers in the short scale (used primarily in the United States and most English-speaking countries):
- Thousand = 1,000 (10^3)
- Million = 1,000,000 (10^6)
- Billion = 1,000,000,000 (10^9)
- Trillion = 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12)
- Quadrillion = 10^15
- Quintillion = 10^18
So, after a billion (10^9), comes a trillion (10^12). If you want, I can provide more details or explain the long scale numbering system as well!
