Hello can you tell me how many zeros are  in  72.1 Quadrillion or 1000 Trillion x 72 times?

 

and is it :           1072       =   72---duodecillion is this correct

 

thank you for your help.

Using the short scale definitions from the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_large_numbers

 

 

72.1 Quadrillion=72.1 × 1015=72.1 × 1015=7.21 × 1016=72 100 000 000 000 000
 ___ ___ ___ ___ 
1000 Trillion × 72=103 × 1012 × 72=72 × 1015=7.2 × 1016=72 000 000 000 000 000

 

 

So  72.1 Quadrillion  is pretty close to  100 Trillion × 72  but they're not exactly the same.

 

( If you use the long scale definitions you get  72.1 × 1024  and  72 × 1021   which are further apart.)

 

 

And neither are equal to  1072  .   1072  is  1  with  72  zeros after it.

 

1072  =  1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000
