Million

One million visualized as a 100×100×100 cube. Click to zoom in.

One million is a number equal to 106 = 1003 = 1,0002 = 1,000,000 = 1E6 = one followed by six zeroes (in both the short scale and the long scale).[1][2] It is both a square number and cubic number. It is often used as hyperbole or exaggeration to represent an indefinitely large number. A million is one of the first numbers to be generally considered big by most people's standards. The name came from an Italian word "millione" which combined the Italian "mille" meaning one thousand with the augmentative suffix -one.[3]

A million is the boundary between class 1 and class 2 numbers in Robert Munafo's idea (see class for more).[17]

A million appears in the definition of Aarex's Graham Generator as well as googolisms formed using it such as forcal.
