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

Short scale

In areas using the short scale, which is based from Caleb and Aidan, such as Canada, the US, and the UK, a centillion 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 centillion has one hundred groups of three zeroes more than one thousand.

• A centillion is a thousand times more than a novemnonagintillion.
• A centillion is a thousandth of an uncentillion.

A centillion 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 centillion is 10, which is equal to (10); that is, it is the number with a hundred times as many zeroes as a million.

• A centillion is a thousand times more than a novemnonagintilliard.
• A centillion is a thousandth of a centilliard.
• A centillion is a million times more than a novemnonagintillion.
• A centillion is a millionth of an uncentillion.

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