How Much Is A Million? | Million Subscribers Special | Numbers | The Dr Binocs Show | Peekaboo Kidz
Summary
Highlights
A million is represented by the number 1 followed by six zeros (1,000,000). It's a natural number that comes after 999,999 and before 1,000,001, expressed as 10 to the power of 6 in indices form.
The term 'million' is not new and appeared in the Indian scripture Yajurveda. An interesting story suggests its origin from the middle name of Italian merchant Marco Emilio Polo, later becoming 'million,' humorously referring to the 'millions of lies' he spread about his journeys.
To understand how big a million is: one million 80 milligrams of honeybees are needed to balance a person weighing 80 kilograms; a small granule of a broken sugar cube is a millionth part of 273 sugar cubes; one million human fingers, each 22 millimeters long, would cover 22 kilometers; seven drops of oil are one millionth part of 60 gallons in a bathtub; a computer screen with 1280x800 pixels has 1 million 24 thousand pixels.
