Numbers Bigger Than a Trillion
The digit zero plays a very important role as you count very large numbers. It helps track these multiples of 10 because the larger the number is, the more zeroes are needed.
In the below table, the first column lists the name of the number, the second provides the number of zeros that follow the initial digit, while the third tells you how many groups of three zeros you would need to write out each number.
Name Number of Zeros Groups of (3) Zeros
Ten 1 (10)
Hundred 2 (100)
Thousand 3 1 (1,000)
Ten thousand 4 (10,000)
Hundred thousand 5 (100,000)
Million 6 2 (1,000,000)
Billion 9 3 (1,000,000,000)

All of Those Zeros
A table, as the one above, can certainly be helpful in listing the names of all of the subsequent numbers depending on how many zeros they have. But it can be really mind-boggling to see just what some of those numbers look like.
