Million

A million is a large number equal to \(10^6\) = 1,000,000 = one followed by six zeroes. It is often used as hyperbole or exaggeration to represent an indefinitely large number.

One million seconds is nearly 11.5 days. One million minutes is about two years, and one million hours is about 114 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.
