A million has 6 zeros (1,000,000), a billion has 9 zeros (1,000,000,000), and a trillion has 12 zeros (1,000,000,000,000). What comes next? Quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, and so on.

What number does 1 billion come after?

But where do we go from million? After a billion, of course, is trillion. Then comes quadrillion, quintrillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion. One of my favorite challenges is to have my math class continue to count by "illions" as far as they can.

What would the next unit be called after one million?

Here are some place values greater than a million: Million: 1,000,000. Billion: 1,000,000,000. Trillion: 1,000,000,000,000.
