Million

One million (1 000 000) is one thousand thousand, or 10⁶. It can also be expressed as the prefix Mega, when dealing with metric (SI) units.

The million is sometimes used in the English language as a metaphor for a very large number, as in "Never in a million years" and "You're one in a million".

To help compare orders of magnitude the following lists dimensionless numbers between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 (10⁶ and 10⁷).
