Interesting Math Trivia

Ever wonder about large numbers? Like, a million, billion, or a trillion. How does a million look compared to a billion? How about compared to a trillion?

We’re all familiar with numbers like 100...500...1000. Kind of have an idea of how 10 pennies looks like compared to 100 pennies---or how much larger 1000 pounds is to 10,000 pounds.

But what about way, way, way bigger numbers...Even though math class teaches how to write numbers like a million and a billion--we don’t really get to appreciate how much larger 1 billion is than 1 million!

Here’s what I mean….

• 1 million seconds equal 11 and 1/2 days.
  
• 1 billion seconds equal 31 and 3/4 years.
  
• 1 trillion seconds equal 31,710 years.

See the difference between a million and a billion!--a billion and a trillion! Mind boggling, isn’t it?
