Rowlett

The Rowlett numbering system is a proposed numbering system that differs from the common short scale numbering system as follows:

• The common short scale system uses n-illion, using Latin numerical prefixes, to mean 10^(3n+3) where n is any number greater than or equal to 2.

• The common long scale system uses n-illion, using Latin numerical prefixes, to mean 10^(6n) where n is any number greater than or equal to 2.

• The Rowlett system uses "gillion" for 10^9 and n-illion for 10^(3n), where n is an integer greater than or equal to 4, using Greek numerical prefixes. (Million is common to both systems.)
