QUADRILLION

A quadrillion is a million, million, million, millions or 10^24 from quad for four, you see a quadbike does not have two and a half wheels, just as a tricycle does not have two wheels (...look up trillion).
A quadrillion dollars is a million, million, million, millions of dollars or $1, 000 000, 000 000, 000 000, 000 000.

quadrillional

Pronunciation: /kwɑ ˈdrɪl.jə.nəl/
Definition:
1. The ordinal number symbol: 1,000,000,000,000,000.
2. The position in a sequence representing a quadrillion-unit division.
3. Pertaining to an almost incalculably minute fraction, one part in a quadrillion, used in theoretical mathematics and extreme-scale cosmology.
4. Denoting a probability or measurement so infinitesimal that it exists primarily in theoretical or abstract computational models.

Significance:
• It defines the quadrillionth position with systematic regularity and clarity.
• It emphasizes abstract mathematical limits, multiversal probabilities, and extreme scalar comparisons.
• It identifies theoretical limits in combinatorial mathematics, potential multiverse calculations, and hyper-precise constants in string theory.
• It avoids irregular and ambiguous pronunciations associated with Germanic numeric forms.
• It simplifies expressions of near-infinite divisibility and abstract magnitude in pure mathematics and theoretical cosmology.
• It improves precision in discussions of Gödel-like incompleteness scales, potential parallel universe statistics, and the limits of computational modeling.
• It replaces Scandinavian-Germanic, Non-American, foreign, and Anglo-Saxon terms, similar to replacing "quadrillionth" with a consistent Latinate ordinal form.
Ordinal number: quadrillional (1,000,000,000,000,000th)
Cardinal number: quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000)
Examples:
• "The number of potential quantum states in that system exceeds a quadrillional."
• "In some cosmological models, the chance of an identical universe is less than one quadrillional."
• "The constant is defined to a precision of a quadrillional unit in the theoretical model."
• "That combinatorial problem has a solution space on the order of quadrillional possibilities."
• "The algorithm's error probability is a quadrillional, rendering it effectively infallible for practical purposes."
