1,000,000,000 (one billion, short scale; one thousand million or one milliard, one yard, [1] long scale) is the natural number following 999,999,999 and preceding 1,000,000,001. With a number, "billion" can be abbreviated as b, bil[ citation needed ] or bn. [2] [3]

In standard form, it is written as 1 × 109. The metric prefix giga indicates 1,000,000,000 times the base unit. Its symbol is G .

One billion years may be called an eon in astronomy or geology.

Previously in British English (but not in American English), the word "billion" referred exclusively to a million millions (1,000,000,000,000). However, this is not common anymore, and the word has been used to mean one thousand million (1,000,000,000) for several decades. [4]

The term milliard could also be used to refer to 1,000,000,000; whereas "milliard" is rarely used in English, [5] variations on this name often appear in other languages.

In the South Asian numbering system, it is known as 100 crore or 1 arab.

1,000,000,000 is also the cube of 1000.

A is a cube; B consists of 1000 cubes the size of cube A, C consists of 1000 cubes the size of cube B; and D consists of 1000 cubes the size of cube C. Thus there are 1 millionA-sized cubes in C; and 1,000,000,000 A-sized cubes in D.
