For example, long scale number names are as follows (French/Spanish naming standard):
106 = million
1012 = billion
1024 = trillion
You can determine the name of the number by expressing it as 106n where n equals n-lion. And in reverse, understanding what a trillion is in long scale is simple because tri- equals 3, and 106(3) equals 1024.
But when we look at short scale (US/English) number names:
106 million
109 = billion
1012 = trillion
1015 = quad
1018 = quint, etc.
...what simple equation could we use to express this naming convention, where n is the only variable and equals n-lion?
106 = million
1012 = billion
1024 = trillion
