La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que para facilitar la lectura, los números de más de cuatro dígitos pueden escribirse con espacios que separan grupos de tres cifras, empezando por la derecha: 12 345, 678 901, 4 500 000. Según las normas internacionales y las de las Academias, es impropio emplear punto o coma en lugar del espacio, pues estos signos tienen como función separar los decimales. No obstante, en los números de cuatro dígitos es frecuente y válido omitir el espacio, aunque se siga incluyendo en los de cinco o más [por ejemplo,] "9500 y 10 200" […] Este espacio se omite siempre en los años [por ejemplo,] "1998, y no [...] 1 998". No hay un signo especial para los millones, que se marcan igualmente con un espacio. Se desaconsejan, por tanto, grafías como 1’000,000 (con apóstrofo) y 1,000.000 (coma y punto), que se ven ocasionalmente en los medios. 3, record 2, Spanish, - bill%C3%B3n

The detector was responsive down to the 10 SUP-SUP 1 SUP 3 g level for C SUB 2-C SUB 1 SUB 1 hydrocarbons.

Meeting the infrastructure needs of the region has become the most significant component of the [World] Bank's lending program... To cope with rapid modernization, rising urbanization, and international integration, it is estimated that developing East Asian countries will need to invest between $1. 2 trillion and $1. 5 trillion... in transportation, power, telecommunications, and water and sanitation facilities in the next decade... During the past year, in "Infrastructure Development in East Asia and Pacific : Towards a New Public-Private Partnership, "the Bank laid out an overall agenda to enhance private sector participation. The Bank explored the possibility of establishing an Infrastructure Fund in the Philippines, developed a cofinancing strategy with the private sector, and undertook a large number of other activities at the project, sector, and country level to enhance private sector involvement. In addition, recent economic and sector work has included infrastructure studies for China, Indonesia, Mongolia, and Vietnam. 1, record 26, English, - infrastructure%20study

Le «trillion» américain correspond au terme français «billion». Cependant, pour éviter toute ambiguïté, il convient d'utiliser une puissance de 10. Par exemple, on écrira «neuf parties par billion» comme suit : 9 p.p. 1012, ou 9 X 10-12, ou encore 9 p/1012. On aura compris que, dans l'expression «partie par 10[12]», le mot «partie» symbolise un volume, une masse ou un nombre de particules, suivant ce qui a été utilisé pour calculer la concentration (ou rapport); dans les expressions «x X 10[-12]», «x p.p. 10[12]» et «x/10[12]», la lettre minuscule «x» tient lieu ici du nombre de parties en cause. 1, record 27, French, - partie%20par%2010%5Bexposant%2012%5D
