One million is 1000000

One million is 1000000
Why do burgers do this; 1,000,000?
What is the point?
Also the comma is for decimals, full stops have no place in maths.

shut up bitch or i'll smack you

It's easier to read

>Also the comma is for decimals
yeah, don't do that

thanks

R u grill?

Same reason we add spaces between words: shit is easier to read that way.

Pretty sure we write 1.000.000 in Europe.

No, why?

ireallycouldn'ttellyouitlooksfinetome

1e+6 is easier

but that is just one, no need for all those pointless zeros

Thats not 1 million. A numerical value can only have 1 decimal.For instance.1,000,000.000 is 1 million, but need other punctuation because decimal signals end of 'whole' values.

We use the comma for marking the start of decimals, at least in the nordics.

>we write
No you don't. RAE says we should write it as 1 000 000

can you imagine for one moment losing the lottery of life and being born in a country that uses commas to mark decimal places?

like as in 71,2 instead of 71.2?

people do this?

We do the same thing but with . instead
It's easier this way

>people do this?
yes, we call those """"people"""" europeans

Yes like in 3,50€ instead of 3.50€ and 1.000.000 instead of 1,000,000

10000000000000

10,000,000,000,000

Which one is easier to read?

Yes.
Take a very simple equation:
34534,567:5487,76=6,29301

damn i can't read this at all

>34534,567:5487,76=6,29301
It's amazing how swapping just a couple of symbols really fucks with your head

Those """""people""""" must be fucking dumb then.

But why have anything in the 1000000?

>3,50€
Why are you putting the € after the number?

Stop doing things differently.

1E6 is the easiest to read tbqh

But you don't say «That'll be pounds 3,50», ypu say «that'll be 3,50 pounds» right?

It's hard to read big numbers like that.
All these plebs talk shit about using points and commas when the proper patrician choice of the thinking man is using simple spaces, ie 1 000 000

>But you don't say «That'll be pounds 3,50», ypu say «that'll be 3,50 pounds» right?
neither, what you say is "that'll be 3 pounds 50" or more commonly "that'll be 3 50"

3.50$ is how i'd put it

The best solution is
1 000 000

Anglos are the kings of math and science, so 1,000 is objectively more correct than 1.000

Both are wrong. Just write it as 1000

1.113,114
1,113.114
1 113,114

Too hard to read.

1113,114

That's fine for smaller numbers but it's faster to read 1,000,000,000,000 and actually comprehend what number that is

>1 113,114
Say no more, we have our winner

1.113114*1E3

my nigga

What's a billion in your country?

Here it's 10^9, but in Portugal it's 10^12, it's fucking weird.
They call our billion a "thousand million".

>1,000,000,000,000
1 000 000 000 000

1000000000000

Biljoona is 10^12
Triljoona is 10^18

>What's a billion in your country?
No such thing

>They call our billion a "thousand million".
That's the thinking man's way. A billion is a million of millions, i bet the idiot that came up with billion=a thousand millions did it for mere dickwaving purposes like "Oh well you see i'm not a millionaire i'm actually a BILLIONAIRE!" or something like that

Oh also Biljardi 10^15
and Triljardi 10^21

That's what I'm saying

In Bible Academy they made us write in decimals. I was quite the sinner for forgetting to. Now I do it out of habit.

Still don't know the point of it

>putting the dollar sign AFTER the number

That's not practical, you literally have to put your finger and count the zeroes in groups of three anyways, so you might as well just use the space like it was meant to.

you say "i need 400 bucks" not "i need bucks 400"
well you might not say bucks

You owe me ten dollars
You owe me dollars ten
?

usually in my area we say

"how much do i owe you"

"20" or "you owe 20" without even saying dollars or bucks

If 10:30 is "half 10", then why don't we write it 30:10

CHECKMATE

The clock is ten thirty.

But why? It only makes things harder. It's easier when for every three zeros you change the prefix.
Makes a lot more sense imo.

No you god damned foreign piece of shit how the fuck does someone need this explained to them?

Numbers are structured with commas every three digits, when it rolls over into a new comma it becomes a new denomination.
000,000,000,000 - None
000,000,001,000 - One Thousdand
000,001,000,000 - One Million
001,000,000,000 - One Billion
001,000,000,000,000 - One trillion
and so on

The comma makes it visually easier to read. Instead of having to count zeroes they are grouped into threes. You can count it quicker that way.

y no space tho?

The symbol is meant to convey to the reader that the following number represents an amount of money, and unless your brain is the size of a peanut, you'll have no problem reading it properly.
>It's easier when for every three zeros you change the prefix.
No it isn't, the long scale makes more sense and it's more simple as it is a simple repetition. It's also more accurate because by simple logic you make sense of the relationship between the quantities instead of having to learn "a billion is this much a trillion this other much".
1 000 000 = million
10 000 000 = tens of million
100 000 000 = hundreds of million
1 000 000 000 =thousands of million
10 000 000 000 = tens of thousands of million
etc. until you reach a million of millions AKA billion, which would be such an obnoxious amount that it wouldn't be very common to use anyways.

No clue. Maybe to make it so they are technically conjoined. So you can't read 100,100 as two 100s.

>The symbol is meant to convey to the reader that the following number represents an amount of money, and unless your brain is the size of a peanut, you'll have no problem reading it properly.

¿ Sounds something some spaniard would come up with ?

>mfw a filthy johnny foreigner uses roman numerals to denote a century

That's a load of bull if I've ever seen one. Your argument only makes sense before a trillion. Why isn't a trillion a billion billions then? From your own standpoint it would seem arbitrary (>a billion is this much a trillion this other much) that a trillion is a million billion.

>Numbers are structured with commas
Maybe in your dreams.
>Since 2003,[16] the use of spaces as separators (for example: 20 000 and 1 000 000 for "twenty thousand" and "one million") has been officially endorsed by SI/ISO 31-0 standard,[17] as well as by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry,[18][19] the American Medical Association's widely followed AMA Manual of Style, and the Metrication Board, among others.

Well, the ¿ exists because use a characteristic intonation during all of the question/exclamation (not just a tiny change in the end like anglos)

>MMXVI
>NOT VSINC DEVS' ALPHABET

One and two sets of zero?

those zeros can make the difference between being a poorfag or a richfag

Perhaps it works that way because a trillion in the long scale is already an obnoxiously big number that wouldn't reflect anything aside from huge astronomical distances and shit, and it would be more simple to use SI prefix like tera, peta or just write it in scientific notation.

Basically, the short scale spergs out when it reaches a thousand million, while the long scale stays consistent way longer, and only gets kinda dumb when the number is too high for us to grasp.

This too. But it's not as useful in handwriting.

we use comma for decimals too

Maybe your backwards system doesn't work past that but ours works fine.

>being proud of being the Eternal Anglo

What's the colon for, 2bh? We don't use it for anything in math

10:30 is 10 and a half

Division

I will start doing it on Sup Forums only because of this post.

Ah, we use either / or ÷ (which is properly called an "obelus" I just found out and which doesn't appear on our keyboards) for that.

because they have been taught to count only up to three.

>÷
stopped using that the second my teachers let me use /

That's a really weird way to tell the time.

Same, it's more a formality than anything. Similar to how * pretty much replaced x for multiplication for me after the 6th grade.

It's simply "ten thirty" in the US, though people will likely understand "half past ten".

>neither, what you say is "that'll be 3 pounds 50"

gay

they used X for some silly cross multiplying thing here that made me get it wrong more than right

It's "three fifty" (inb4 South Park) in the US, especially for larger values.

Are you talking about the cross product for vectors? Yeah, that's why I'd recommend sticking with * for normal multiplication.

The reason why billion is 10^12 in some countries, namely romance-speaking Europe, is because there's "miliardo/milliard" to indicate 10^9. Therefore it's something like

1 000 000 Million
1 000 000 000 Milliard
1 000 000 000 000 Billion
1 000 000 000 000 000 Billiard

And so on

Fun fact, France used short scale before switching to long scale, and the UK used long scale before switching to short scale.

to better separate the fucking number you dumb ass faggot dane


1000000 can easily be mistaken for less/more 0's at a quick glance. Whereas a decimal every 3 0's is easy to tell.

>1,000,000 is easy to see as a million, 6 zeros.
1000000 can be easily mistaken.

Can't shit like 1,001 be mistaken easily as decimals?

how would you write 1,000,000,000.999 in your system?

How could it?

It's a very simple and intuitive way of writing. When you're working with a lot of numbers or not concentrating hard you can easily mistake 1000000000 for +/- a couple of zeros, separating it with commas makes sense.

1 000 000 000,999

Well, someone has shitty handwriting and , . are unrecognisable from each other?

Oh i didnt get what you meant.

Uhhh I guess that could happen, but i don't think it does. A decimal is just a dot, and a comma is more obvious

wtf! I hate rae now

It's everyone's system.

When people are writing they don't usually include fractions of a cent so it's not really a problem.
