Which is bigger million or billion

There is a lot of confusion on which is bigger between million and billion. In this post, we will find the answer.

Let us now find both billion and million in numbers.

1 billion = 10,000 lakhs

1 million = 10 lakhs

Since 1 lakh = 1,00,000 we have that

1 billion = 1,000,000,000

1 million = 1,000,000

Thus, 1 billion is equal to 1,000,000,000 in number and 1 million is equal to 1,000,000 in number. Thus, there are nine zeros in 1 billion and six zeros in 1 million. Hence, we conclude the following:
