An octillion is equal to 1027 in America, or 1048 in France and Germany.[1]
In the long scale, 1027 is called quadrilliard, which is commonly used in France and Germany.
Both Russ Rowlett's Greek-based naming system[2] and Aarex Tiaokhiao's googology site[3] give the name ennillion for this number.
The number is also called tre-bitillion by SuperJedi224.[4]
