A million is a number equal to 106 = 1,000,000 = 1E6 = one followed by six zeroes.[1] 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.[2]

Aarex Tiaokhiao gave the name duillion, referring to the value of this number.[3]

• Sbiis Saibian computed that if a person walked one thousand miles every 31 days, after 75 years, that person would have managed to walk about 883000 miles.[8]

## In googology Edit

In Greek-based number-naming systems, a million is associated with SI prefix mega-, and with SI prefix micro- in Latin systems.

A million is the boundary between class 1 and class 2 numbers in Robert Munafo's idea (see class for more).[9]

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