Depending on context (e.g. language, culture, region), some large numbers have names that allow for describing large quantities in a textual, not mathematical, form. For very large values, the text is generally shorter than a decimal numeric representation, although longer than scientific notation.
Two naming scales for large numbers have been used in English and other European languages since the early modern era: the long and short scales. Most English variants use the short scale today, but the long scale remains dominant in many non-English-speaking areas, including continental Europe and Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas. These naming procedures are based on taking the number n occurring in 10 (short scale) or 10 (long scale) and concatenating Latin roots for its units, tens, and hundreds place, together with the suffix -illion.
