Billion To Trillion Formula

The following equations convert between billions and trillions on the short scale. On the long scale, replace 1,000 with 1,000,000.

T = B / 1000 B = T ร— 1000
  • T is the value in trillions
  • B is the value in billions
  • The short-scale conversion factor is 1,000; the long-scale factor is 1,000,000

On the short scale, divide billions by 1,000 to obtain trillions, or multiply trillions by 1,000 to obtain billions. On the long scale, use 1,000,000 instead.
