A duodecillion is equal to 1039 in America, or 1072 in France and Germany.[1]

In his novel Postsingular, Rudy Rucker jokingly used the term umptisqiuddlyzillion to refer to the American value of this number.[2]

In the long scale, 1039 is called sextilliard, which is commonly used in France and Germany.

This number is also called trisdekillion in Russ Rowlett's Greek-based naming system,[3] and doedecillion by Jonathan Bowers.[4]

Aarex Tiaokhiao gave the name trecillion, referring to the value of this number.[5]

Wikia user NumLynx gave the name tredecisand for this number's short scale value.[6]
