[edit] Proposed systematic names for powers of 10




 It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Names of large
numbers. (Discuss)


[edit] Gillion system


In 2001, Russ Rowlett, Director of the Center for Mathematics and Science Education at
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill proposed that, to avoid confusion, the
Latin based short scale and long scale systems should be replaced by an unambiguous
system using Greek-derived numerical prefixes for naming large numbers that would be
based on powers of one thousand: ]

[edit] Fractional numbers


This is a table of English names for positive rational numbers less than or equal to 1.
It also lists alternative names, but there is no widespread convention for the names of
extremely small positive numbers.

Keep in mind that rational numbers like 0.12 can be represented in infinitely many ways,
e.g. zero-point-one-two (0.12), twelve percent (12%), three twenty-fifths , nine
seventy-fifths , six fiftieths , twelve hundredths , twenty-four two-hundredths , etc.
