I don't think that's quite right

one thousand thousand (1,000 * 1,000) == one million (1,000,000)

one thousand million (1,000 * 1,000,000) == one billion (1,000,000,000)

one thousand billion (1,000 * 1,000,000,000) == one trillion (1,000,000,000,000)

Basically "one thousand ____" means "add 3 zeros"

one million million (1e6 * 1e6) == one trillion (1e12)

one million billion (1e6 * 1e9) == one quadrillion (1e15)

Basically "one million ____" means "add 6 zeros"

And... where is the error in my comment?

I just skipped the sequence: one thousand billion, ten thousand billion, one hundred thousand billion so as not to lengthen my comment and I did it by jumping to the millions directly.

Google translator makes a creeper with the "billions", read my comment in english.
