Below in the correct values. 1 thousand (American) = 1,000 = 1 thousand = 1E3 1 million (American) = 1,000,000 = 1 thousand thousands = 1E6 1 billion (American) = 1,000,000,000 = 1 thousand millions = 1E9 1 trillion (American) = 1,000,000,000,000 = 1 thousand billions = 1E12 1 quadrillion (American) = 1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1 thousand trillions = 1E15 Chris
