One centrillion is a number, which is equal to either 10 or 10, depending on the system used.

Short scale

In areas using the short scale such as Canada, the US, and the UK, a centrillion is 10. It is formed on a pattern starting with a million: a million (1,000,000) has three zeroes more than a thousand (1,000); a billion (1,000,000,000) has two groups of three zeroes more than a thousand, and so on. One centrillion has one hundred groups of three zeroes more than one thousand.

A centrillion in the short-scale system is equivalent to a quinquagintilliard, or a thousand quinquagintillion, in the long-scale system.

Long scale

In long scale usage, one centrillion is 10, which is equal to (10); that is, it is the number with a hundred times as many zeroes as a million.

A centrillion in the long scale is equivalent to a cennovemnonagintillion in the short scale.
