quadrillion : En anglais, ce terme désigne un million de trillions(10 à la puissance 24), alors qu'en français il correspond à 10 à la puissance 15. Pour éviter toute confusion, en français, il convient d’utiliser une puissance de 10. Par exemple, 9 parties par mille billions s’écrit comme suit : 9 p. p. 1015, ou 9 X 10-15, ou encore 9 p/1015. On aura compris que, dans l'expression «partie par 10[ 15]», le mot partie ne fait que prendre la place du chiffre «x» exprimant le nombre de particules en cause. 2, record 2, French, - partie%20par%20un%20million%20de%20milliards
