How many million in a billion?

Question

How many million in a billion?

Answer 1

six-sevenths.  Six of the seven letters match.

Answer 2

It's a sticky question.  For a long time, an American billion was 1000 million, and a British billion was a million million.  But i'm starting to hear more an more British use the American usage in radio, since many radio programs are also distributed over the internet.

I suppose the idea is that Americans are too stupid to change.  And we are.

Answer 3

One thousand millions are in a billion.

1,000,000 X 1,000 = 1,000,000,000

You just add the zeros of the two numbers to get the product.  

So six zeros plus three zeros equals nine zeros which is equal to one billion

Answer 4

one thousand

Answer 5

In the US, 1000.  In Britain, a million.

Answer 6

it goes...999 million, then 1 billion..so 100 million, million dollars equils 1 billion!  

Answer 7

If you had some boxes with a million dollars in each box, you would need one thousand of those boxes to have a total of a billion dollars. So, there are one thousand "millions" in one "billion".  

Also, they'd have to be some pretty big boxes [large suitcase size]  and you'd need a rather large building to a thoousand of them inside, like an aircraft hangar or warehouse.
