Question or Help

I know it takes about 31,709 years to count up to a Trillion. But, how long it would to count up to a Quadrillion? Is there a way to calculate this?

Well, there are 31,557,600 seconds in a year. You just divide that into a quadrillion - a 1 with 15 zeros. If you do that you'll get 31,688,087.8 years.

 

Now that is if you say one number per second. If you could say 2 per second - then you cut your time in half.

 

I suppose it makes sense that this number is similar but with 3 more zeros - as a quadrillion is 3 more zeros than a trillion.

 Thanks a Trillion my brother.

I guess you could see how long it takes by trying it...

But if you get interrupted you have to start over....

How long would it take to count to infinity ... twice!
