Be aware that if you are changing values into words that it depends which country you are in.
First off let me explain a few things to get a grounding in how words are used to describe numbers.
UNIcycle is a cycle with 1 wheel (correct!)
BIcycle is a cycle with 2 wheels (correct!)
TRIcycle is a cycle with 3 wheels (correct!)
Right!, now a million (1,000,000) is a 1 followed by 6 zeros.
A billion (BI-meaning 2) would be similar to a million but have two of what a million has. Which
follows that it should be a 1 followed by 12 zeros (6 x 2).
BUT in the US their billion has 9 zeros, not 12 ???????
Which if you followed that logic, would give us, a bicycle is a cycle that has 1.5 wheels!
