10^12 Explanation: triliun in Bahasa Indonesia means 10 to the power of 12. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-31 02:07:15 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- American and British English have different names for this number (10^12). American English uses \'Trillion\' while British English uses the word \'Billion\'. Bahasa Indonesia is somehow free from this bias. here are the details : 10^6 = juta 10^9 = milliar 10^12 = trilliun For the US and the British differences, check out this web site :http://www.alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxbill00.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-31 09:11:18 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Indonesian US UK 10^6 juta million million 10^9 milyar billion milliard 10^12 trilyun trillion billion -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-31 09:19:09 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I was trying to make a table, but sorry it appeared like that.. :-( here\'s a better display, hopefully 10^6 = million (both US & UK) 10^9 = billion (US) ; milliard (UK) 10^12 = trillion (US) ; billion (UK) |
