- Definition 1 000 thousand = 1 000 000 = 106 Reference "million". A Dictionary of Weights, Measures, and Units. Donald Fenna, Oxford University Press, 2002. http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780198605225.001.0001/acref-9780198605225-e-893?rskey=2N6IvA&result=1 [21.1.2014]
- Comment Unlike the related terms of higher value (billion et seq.), this term has an unambiguous meaning, so can be used readily, even in a scientific context. Million also has the advantage of having the same initial letter as its SI equivalent prefix, namely mega- (M-) as in ‘megabytes’ and ‘megabucks’. However, there is the confusion that, from Latin, M also means thousand, and has often been used so in various business and other writing.
