million, billion, trillion, what comes next?
if there isn't a word for this, we may need to make one soon with the way our nation's debt is. right now it's like 9 trillion.

quadrillion comes next, with 15 zerosand then you follow the latin numbers: pent-, hex-, hept-, oct-, etc.
you guys are smart lol
my algebra teacher didn't even know that

Only "oct-" above is Latin. The rest are Greek. The correct sequence would be quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, etc.sextillion
awsome word, I wish I can have that much moneys!
imagine having that much money in your pockets.
btw, how do you say sextillion below 0?

Er, negative sextillion?
What kind of question is that? | Jim_the_cat wrote: |

I think he means like, tens-tenths, hundreds-hundredths
So that would be sextillions-sextillionths?
Or is that for decimals? Eh 
btw how many zeroes in a Nonillion?http://www.jimloy.com/math/billion.htm
On a side note, look up googolplex, if you like big numbers. When the words get to be too many it's better to use the expnoential notation:
15
10 would be 1 followed by 15 zeroes (if it prints correctly in this post)
aaaah, it didn't print correctly. Just say 10 to the fifteen. Then you know it's 1 followed by fifteen zeroes. It works for all numbers so you don't have to remember lots of different words.
