The words for very large numbers
If you're wondering how to form other huge numbers like this, here's the pattern:
A thousand thousands is a million: 1,000,000.
A thousand millions is a billion: 1,000,000,000.
A thousand billions is a trillion: 1,000,000,000,000.
A thousand trillions is a quadrillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000.
A thousand quadrillions is a quintillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000.
A thousand quintillions is a sextillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
And so on. The part before - illion is the Latin prefix for the number of times you went through the process of multiplying by a thousand. So, you can continue to septillion, octillion, nonillion, decillion, undecillion, duodecillion, and so on forever.
Within the scale defined by one of these huge units, you multiply by a number from 1 to 999 in the usual manner, by putting the multiplier ahead of the unit, and you add smaller numbers by putting them after the unit, in the same manner as for thousands:
215,002 is "two hundred fifteen thousand and two".
215,000,000,000,000,000,002 is "two hundred fifteen quintillion and two".
The usual customs for "hundred" apply:
123,456,100,000,000,000,000 is "a hundred and twenty-three quintillion four hundred and fifty-six quadrillion one hundred trillion" or "one hundred twenty-three quintillion four hundred fifty-six quadrillion one hundred trillion", or other variations, the same as for hundreds of thousands.
