Million

A million is a number equal to 106 = 1,000,000 = 1E6 = one followed by six zeroes. It is often used as hyperbole or exaggeration to represent an indefinitely large number. The name came from an Italian word "millione" which combined the Italian "mille" meaning one thousand with the augmentative suffix -one.

Aarex Tiaokhiao gave the name duillion, referring to the value of this number.

Examples

 * One million seconds is approximately 11.5 days, one million minutes is about two years, one million hours is about 114 years, one million days is about 2740 years, and one million weeks is about 19178 years.
 * Sbiis Saibian computed that if a person walked one thousand miles every 31 days, after 75 years, that person would have managed to walk about 883,000 miles.
 * The SI prefix mega- multiplies by one million.
