Place Value 2 (Difficult)

This 11 Plus Maths quiz challenges pupils to think about how we name and compare very large numbers, from millions to quintillions.

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

The number 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 is called one quintillion, but in some countries it is known as one trillion, a place value naming difference that confuses economists.

In 11 Plus Maths, pupils learn about large numbers and how their names vary across the world. Understanding place value at this level helps with reading, writing, and comparing extremely big figures used in science and finance.

Key Terms

  • Place Value: The value of a digit based on where it sits in a number.
  • Short Scale: A system where a billion is a thousand million, used in the United Kingdom and United States.
  • Long Scale: A system where a billion is a million million, used in parts of Europe and older British usage.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the largest named number in maths?

There is no limit to how large numbers can get, but some named examples include a centillion and googol, which is one followed by one hundred zeros.

Why do different countries use different number names?

Countries use different naming systems, such as the short and long scales, because they developed their mathematical terms separately over time.

How can I remember large number names?

Learning Latin roots can help, as many number names like million, billion, and trillion come from words meaning one, two, and three.
