How much is 1 billion?




How much is 1 billion you ask? Well, you have come to the right place to learn all about 1 billion! Let's start with how you would write 1 billion with numbers only:

1,000,000,000

And this is how you would write 1 billion with letters only:

One billion

If you take apart 1 billion and turn it into millions you get:

1 billion = 1,000 million

If you type in 1 billion on your calculator, it may come out as a scientific notation of:

1.0E+09 (1.0 x 109)


OK, enough of the basics. Now we will put 1 billion in the context of other things, so you can get a better idea of how much it really is:

Spending: If you had 1 billion dollars, you could buy 33,333 cars at $30,000/each or 5,000 houses at $200,000/each.

Travel: If you were to travel 1 billion miles, you could fly around the world 40,159 times or take a round trip to the moon 2,093 times.

Savings: If you could save $100,000/year, it would take you 10,000 years to save 1 billion dollars. If you could save $10,000 every single day, then it would only take you 274 years to save 1 billion.

Giving: With 1 billion dollars, you could afford to give every man, woman, and child in Canada $27.78.

Living: If you could live for 1 billion minutes, you would live until you were 1,903 years old.
