International number system: short scale and long scale with examples

https://bravo-wiki.win/index.php/International_number_system:_short_scale_and_long_scale_with_examples

The international number system uses either short scale or long scale to name large numbers. In short scale, a billion equals one thousand million; in long scale, a billion equals one million million. For example, 1,000,000,000 is a billion in short scale but a milliard in long scale, while 1,000,000,000,000 is a trillion in short scale and a billion in long scale. This distinction matters in finance, science, and international communication.
