It is a way of telling someone they look good.  A million "bucks" is a million American dollars (which is usually considered a lot :)

A 7 digit phone number is 100-0000, or 1,000,000 (each number has 7 digits just written a different way).\nSimilarly, a 10 digit phone number is 100-000-0000 or 1,000,000,000.\n\nSo rephrasing the question, is 1 billion 100 times larger than 1 million...\n\nThis question is easier, which is always nice :)\nNo... 1,000,000 is a thousand times larger than 1,000,000,000.  Therefore there are 1000 times more 10 digit phone numbers than 7 digit phone numbers.

One hundred thousand (I'm assuming you are using a . as the thousands separator, although in the US we would write that as 100,000. But either way, in words that is 'one hundred thousand')

Most people will recognize it as million, but in accounting practices, 100M can mean 100 thousand from the Latin mille, while MM is used for million.\n\nYou see this usage in the traditional CPM for cost per thousand.

1,000,000,000,001\n\nBut seriously, I think you want a quadrillion, which equals 1 trillion X 1,000.

A mole is simply a way of saying theres a biiiiig number of atoms involved. Just think of it as say, the word "billion". I have a "billion" atoms. What is a billion? Well a billion is 1,000,000,000. What is a mole? Well a mole is 6.022*10^23. If theres 1.5 billion molecules in a sample, there are 1,5000,000,000 molecules in that sample. If there is 1 mole of molecules in a sample, there are 6.022*10^23 molecules in that sample. Simple as that, it's just a very large number.\n\nIf have you have a formula that says for example: 1 NaOH + 1 HCl -> 1 NaCl + 1 H20, you can look at it with moles in mind. For every 1 mole of Sodium Hydroxide and 1 mole of Hydrochloric acid, you will produce 1 mole of sodium chloride and1 mole of water. It basically means that if you add 6.022*10^23 molecules of sodium hydroxide to the same number of hydrochloric acid, you'll produce 6.022*10^23 molecules of sodium chloride and water.

It depends where you are\nIn UK\n1 billion is 1 million millions and 1 trillion is 1 billion billions\n\nIn USA\n1 billion is 1 thousand millions and 1 trillion is 1 thousand billions\n\nStrictly speaking, the American billion is actually a milliard.\n\nThe answer given by the person below from wikipedia is only half the answer and if you go to wikipedia you will get the full answer which is as above.

1 million = 1000000 ie 6 zeroes\n1000 million = 1 billion = 1000,(000000) ie 9 zeroes\n                                        1000,(MILLION)\n\n\nfor indians, 1,000,000,000 = 100,00,00,000\ntherefore          1 BILLION  = 100 CRORE !!\n\nand \n\n1,000,000  = 10,00,000\n1 MILLION =  10 LAKH !!
