I have wonder about ISk as far as millions and billions and when you see 1,000m how much that is. Really just looking for a complete rundown. Thanks for any hold. |

1,000m would mean 1B isk. 1000 million = 1000 * 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 isk = 1B
You might also see 1,000kk or "whatever"kk where kk is synonymous with million as kk stands for thousand-thousand.
Hope that helps. |

Hope that helps. Nope. 'm' is milli. 1,000m isk = 1 isk. 'M' is millions. 1,000M isk = 1 billion isk. Then there's the whole 'M' versus 'MM' thing.

In my school they taught me 10E9 is called miliard and billion is 10E12. |

The numeracy scale seems very odd to me.
Mi-llion - kk - k2 Bi-llion - *** - k3 Tri-llion - kkkk - k4 Quad-rillion - kkkkk - k5 . . . [n]-illion - k[n+1]
What gives? seems like we got bumped up a 10^3 somewhere along the line |
