How long would it take a human being to count to 1 billion one at a time?
You may think it would take a billion seconds. That's 31.7 years. But the answer is not that simple. Take 999,999,999. Unless you can speak really quickly, you cannot say this number in just one second. That's just one unique number, right? Wrong. 9/10 of all numbers you will count will have the same amount of digits.It takes about 2.5 seconds on average to say a 9 digit number so I will use that. It can then be estimated to take 2.5 billion seconds (79.25 years) to count to a billion. You can be more precise and continue down with 8 digit numbers but this is a good upper bound value.Coincidentally, the life expectancy at birth in the US is around 79 years, so if you somehow knew the numbers the second you were born and started counting then, it would take all of your life to count to a billion. This can't happen however. You wouldn't be able to sleep, work, or eat. If you devoted 8 hours to counting, then it would take 237.25 years so your offspring would have to continue your legacy.As a side note, there is a trick to counting to higher numbers without spending too much time. Count to 100, then restart, but keep track of all the 100s you have counted. You can count a number a second now. With 8 hours of counting a day, and using 31.7 years from earlier, it would take 95.1 years.Overall, you would most likely die before you finished counting to a billion, one way or another.
Wat is scientific notation?
you just change the notation. but first you have to know the following: 10 to the first power is 10 10 to the second power is 100 whatever power 10 is determines how many zeroes are behind the number. like 1 x 10 to 3rd power = 1000 1 x 10 to 10th power = 10,000,000,000 so if they want a number like 1234 in scientific notation, it is 1.234 x 10 to 3rd power. 5823 in scientific notation is: 5.823 x 10 to 3rd power 91473 in scientific notation is: 9.1473 x 10 to 4th power always place one digit in front of decimal and the rest of the digits after the decimal.
How much would 1 trillion dollars in pennies weigh?
Cool! 1) A penny weighs 2.5 grams, so 100 trillion pennies (which would equal 1 trillion dollars, because 100 pennies equals a dollar) would be 250 trillion grams, or 250 x 10^12 grams. There are approximately 453.6 grams in a pound, so the weight would be 250 x 10^12/453.6, or approximately 551 billion pounds. 2) Height would be the thickness of a penny--0.061 inches-- times 250 x 10^12, or: 1.525 x 10^13 inches. Given that there are 63,600 inches in a mile, this would be a height of about 240 million miles. The average distance from the earth to the sun is about 93 million miles. Crazy!
Can an intelligent person help me please?
Can you help me to complete this please: 1 = one 10 = ten 100 = a hundred 1,000 = a thousand 10,000 = ten thousand 100,000 = a hundred thousand 1,000,000 = a million 10,000,000 = ten million 100,000,000 = a hundred million 1,000,000,000 = a thousand million 10,000,000,000 = ten thousand million 100,000,000,000 = a hundred thousand million 1,000,000,000,000 = a billion 10,000,000,000,000 = ten billion 100,000,000,000,000 = a hundred billion 1,000,000,000,000,000 = a thousand billion 10,000,000,000,000,000 = ten thousand billion 100,000,000,000,000,000 = a hundred thousand billion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = ten hundred thousand billion 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 = a million billion 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 = ten million billion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = a hundred million billion 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = a thousand million billion 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = ten thousand million billions 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = ??? and so on, and so on Can you continue it for me? keep adding one zero (0) on each line and write near the amount in letters I am missing something or have something that doesn't exist, please correct me. Just stop where you can't have an idea anymore. I am participating to something and I need your precious help. I need to be able to count until the infinity. Thanks a lot
What would be the simplest way to write counting up to 100,000,000,000,000 that requires simplest notation on a piece of paper and not 15 places as in the example?
The simplest way is pretty much what you've disqualified. Everyone knows and understand the base-10 (decimal) number system.A number of ways exist to answer your problem:1) use a different numbering system, like base-36 (which has 36 digits, usually represented as 0-9 and a-z such that a 'z' represents 35)2) use a different representation of the numbers, such as scientific and/or exponential notation3) represent the count as a chunk of pseudo-code that gives a generic implementation that can be easily converted to any programming language... and many more ...Which of these is the simplest would, realistically, depend on your knowledge-base and the knowledge-base of the group this question is being answered for.
How many zeroes are in the number 50 trillion?
Well, there are many ways to write 50 trillion. The number of zeroes in the way you expressed it in your question looks to be about . . . . 1.If you expressed it as 5 x 10^13, then there is still only 1 zero in it.If you expressed it as 5 x 10 x 10^12 then there are 2 zeroes in the expression.Yes, this is all quite silly, isn’t it?If you mean the fully expressed number (50,000,000,000,000) then there appear to be 13 zeroes in this expression of the number.Of course, I’m using the American definition of ‘trillion’, I believe the British likely have a different number in mind when they say ‘trillion’. So, perhaps your question isn’t quite clear (the internet being so ubiquitously wide and all)?Ahh, indeed, using the ‘long scale’ sometimes used in British English and non-English speaking countries, it looks like there might be as many as 19 zeroes in 50 trillion. The ‘short scale’ in British English would give you 13 zeroes.

What’s this number called 10000000000000?
10 trillion, assuming I counted the 0s correctly. For future reference, please use commas to separate triplets of 0s. 10,000,000,000,000 is much easier to read and identify than 10000000000000.
