There is no consistent and widely accepted way to extend cardinals beyond centillion (centilliard).
Proposed systematic names for powers of 10
![]() | It has been suggested that this article be merged with Names of large numbers. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2009. |
Gillion system
In 2001, Russ Rowlett, Director of the Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill proposed that, to avoid confusion, the Latin based short scale and long scale systems should be replaced by an unambiguous system using Greek-derived numerical prefixes for naming large numbers that would be based on powers of one thousand: [1]

Fractional numbers
This is a table of English names for positive rational numbers less than or equal to 1. It also lists alternative names, but there is no widespread convention for the names of extremely small positive numbers.
Keep in mind that rational numbers like 0.12 can be represented in infinitely many ways, e.g. zero-point-one-two (0.12), twelve percent (12%), three twenty-fifths , nine seventy-fifths , six fiftieths , twelve hundredths , twenty-four two-hundredths , etc.
