Important Math Question
What comes after:
Million
Billion
Trillion
?
And after that and after that and after that.
I have always wondered how the progression of numbers goes. I can remember a time when a million was a super big number, but now even a trillion is small.

Re: Important Math Question
Now I'm extremely curious. Why was it so important to find this information as the thread subject mentions? If you have just come across some money in excess of 1 trillion, please don't forget us little people.
