1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion on the short scale; one billion on the long scale; one thousand billion; one million million) is the natural number following 999,999,999,999 and preceding 1,000,000,000,001. It is known as 10 kharab, 1000 arab, or 1 lakh crore in the Indian numbering system.

Etymology

The word trillion is borrowed from French trillion, which is from tri- ("three") + -illion. It can be abbreviated as tril, tln, tn, or simply t. Originally in British English, the word "trillion" referred to million million millions (while "billion" referred to million millions, which is equal to trillion in American English). However, to many people, the word refers to one thousand billion (1,000,000,000,000) in the present day.
