omg look what i found!

the internet is great.

so... if you want to know what 1 조억 is...
it's like this
조 = 1,000,000,000
억 = 100,000,000
so, 조억 = 1,000,000,000 x 100,000,000

which is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
millions, billions, trillions... then what???

well. look what i found!


Dear Yahoo!:
What numbers come after millions, billions, and trillions... and how high do they go?

Dear Tim:
The big numbers past a trillion, in ascending powers of ten, are as follows: quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, undecillion, duodecillion, tredecillion, quattuordecillion, and quindecillion (that's 10 to the 48th, or a one followed by 48 zeros). But wait -- there's more.
The highest number listed on Robert Munafo's table, which coincidentally is our new favorite number, is a milli-millillion. Say that three times fast! That's 10 to the 3000003rd. For something closer to home, a centillion is 10 to the 303rd.
The googolplex has often been nominated as the largest named number in the world. If a googol is ten to the one hundredth, then a googolplex is one followed by a googol of zeroes. Ugh, we think we feel a headache coming on.
The aforementioned mathematician and large number fan Robert Munafo offers a table of megadigits on his personal page. You'll also find some biggies at Russ Rowlett's page at the University of North Carolina.

so, in conclusion, 조억 = quintillion.
As in, "The human body is worth quintillions of dollars." (^.^)v
