Many of us know million, billion, trillion...however, names of numbers larger than a quadrillion are almost never used.

Sextillion is equal to 10 to the power of 21 based on short scale (USA and Modern British) and Nonillion is equal to 10 to the power of 30 based on short scale (USA and Modern British).
