After having an odd debate with another member of the server we came at an impass as to whether or not 100,000,000 is equivalent to 1,000,000,000. What do you think?

100,000,000 = 100 million
200,000,000 = 200 million
300,000,000 = 300 million
400,000,000 = 400 million
500,000,000 = 500 million
600,000,000 = 600 million
700,000,000 = 700 million
800,000,000 = 800 million
900,000,000 = 900 million
1,000,000,000 = 1 billion

There's nothing to debate.

Wow given me the choices aint ya buddy. I'm telling you, that at least in Australia 100 million is 1 billion. So in the case that we were talking about, 770 million is 7.7 billion.

That is incorrect. Simple "math" doesn't vary by country/region.

Are you sure Intelli, because i don't disagree with you that in at least America, it is that way, but I know that at least, I learnt this way, and the people in my life learnt that way, but then again, you are most probably right.

I can not answer because there is no, both response.

Edit: Oh, yeah... 100 million is not 1,000 million... I don't know why I was thinking that all disscussion was that the first number had to be 1,000 million... I'll vote now.
