Meaning and Origin:
A quintillion is a number equal to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1 followed by 18 zeros).
The term "quintillion" was first used in the 15th century in France. It was originally used to mean "a million to the fifth power," or 10^30. However, in the 19th century, the meaning of "quintillion" was changed to 10^18, which is the number that is now accepted as the correct definition.
The suffix "-illion" is used to denote a number that is 1,000,000 times greater than the previous number. For example, a trillion is 1,000,000 times greater than a billion, and a quintillion is 1,000,000 times greater than a trillion.
In the United States, the term "quintillion" is used to refer to the number 10^18. However, in some other countries, such as the United Kingdom and France, the term "quintillion" is used to refer to the number 10^30.
