Important Notes:
A quintillion can be expressed as a product of the following numbers.
- 1 million × 1 million × 1 million (or) 1,000,000 × 1,000,000 × 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (million million millions)
- 1 billion × 1 billions = 1,000,000,000 × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (billion billions)
- 1 million × 1 trillion = 1,000,000 × 1,000,000,000, 000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (million trillions)
- 1 trillion × 1 million = 1,000,000,000, 000 × 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (trillion millions)
The prefix 'exa' can be added to make a quantity as "quintillion". For example.
- Exabytes means Quintillion bytes.
- Exameter means Quintillion meters.
