This data has been collected from http://www.wikidata.org - it may be a little out of date. Some changes have been made to the data - the reader should assume that errors and omissions are due to me and not the most excellent wikidata site.

Scientific Notation

Some implementations of SQL may show large numbers in scientific notation. The number 6.23 E9 means 6.23 x 10 9 which is 6.23 x 1,000,000,000 which is 6,230,000,000
A Million is 10 6 which is 1,000,000
A Billion is 10 9 which is one thousand million which is 1,000,000,000
A Trillion is 10 12 , which is one million million which is 1,000,000,000,000.
