it takes a thousand million to make a billion, so
1,000,000 = 1 million
1,000,000,000 = 1 billion
divide 142.98 by 1000= .14298
usually only convert if you have a thousand or more millions.
for instance, the US population is 300 million, or .3 billion. but nobody says that. India as 1200 million people, but people usually say 1.2 billion, because a trillion is to billions as a billion is to millions. I assume you have a math test or something.
Since a billion in the US is equal to one thousand million, 438508 million is equal to 438.508 billion.
According to the more commonly used US system, 3.8 billion is equal to 3800 million. According to the Commonwealth system, most commonly used in Continental Europe, 3.8 billion is equal to 3800000 million.
If there is a million dollars (1,000,000), then a billion (1,000,000,000). So it will take 1,000 million dollars to make a billion.
It depends upon whether you use British or American reckoning- a US billion is a thousand million, a British billion is a million million.
1000000 = one million 1000000000 = one US billion 1000000000000 = one UK billion So one million is 1000 US billion, and 1000000 UK billion, although common practice in the UK nowadays is to use the US definition.
A thousand million makes a billion in the US.
On the US short scale (1 billion = 1000 million) :10,130,000,000On the long scale (1 billion = 1 million million) : 10,130,000,000,000, which is trillions on the US scale.
Under the US short scale, 1000 million is a billion, so the sum would be 1 billion, 50 million (1.05 billion).
1.2
In the US scale, it is a billion. (1000 million = billion, 1000 billion = trillion)In the "long scale" used in European countries, it takes a million million to equal a billion, and the name for 1000 million is a milliard. Similarly, a million billion is a trillion, while 1000 billion is a billiard. (no relation to the table game.)
In the US - One trillion (one thousand, thousand million - a US billion is a thousand million)in the UK 1 billion (one million million) although the UK is rapidly adopting the US convention
In the US there are only 312 million people. In the Americas there are about 900 million, just 100 million short of a billion.
