The Milky Way Galaxy is about 6 trillion times larger than the rings of Saturn.
Forgetting the newly discovered supersized ring, the "normal" rings have a diameter of about 160,000km.
The diameter of the Milky Way is about 100,000 light years or 9.4605284 × 1017 km.
Divide one by the other and the answer is about 6 trillion (5,912,830,250,000)
