Teamedup Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 A milliard is a thousand million? (I'm now having doubts), but when they say a billion on UK news broadcasts, do they mean a thousand million or a million million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Yes, un milliard is a thousand million.A US billion is also a thousand million. A UK billion used to be a million million, but is now more often than not a thousand million as well. Confusing, isn't it!Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
