1,000,000 ( one million â ⬠), or one thousand thousand, is a natural figure after 999,999 and earlier 1,000,001. It comes from the early Italian millione ( milione in modern Italian), from mille , "thousand", plus the augmentative suffix -one . This is usually abbreviated as m (not to be confused with the metric prefix for 1 ÃÆ' - 10 -3 ) or < b> M ; further MM ("thousand thousand", from Latin "Mille"; do not confuse Roman numerals MM = 2,000), mm , or mn in the financial context.
In scientific notation, this is written as 1 ÃÆ' - 10 6 or 10 6 . Physical quantities can also be expressed using the prefix SI mega (M), when confronted with SI units; for example, 1 megawatt (1 MW) equals 1,000,000 watts.
The meaning of the word "million" is common for short-scale and long-scale numbering systems, unlike larger numbers, which have different names in two systems.
Millions are sometimes used in English as a metaphor for a very large number, as in "Not in a million years" and "you are one in a million", or hyperbole, such as "I've walked a million miles" and "You've asked a million questions dollars ".

While it is often emphasized that counting up to a million exactly will be a very tedious task because of the time and concentration required, there are many ways to bring the number "down to size" in approximate numbers, ignoring irregularities or packing effects.
- Information: Not counting spaces, text printed on 136 pages of EncyclopÃÆ'Ã|dia Britannica, or 600 pages of paper plot papers containing about one million characters.
- Length: There are one million millimeters in a kilometer, and about one million and sixteen inches in a mile. Typical car tires may spin a million times in the course of 1,200 km, while the machine will perform several times the number of revolutions.
- Fingers: If the width of a human finger is 2.2 cm ( 7 / 8 at), then a million fingers lined up until it will travel distance 22 km (14 mi). If one runs at a speed of 4 km/h (2.5 mph), it will take them about five and a half hours to reach the fingertips.
- Area: The box contains a thousand objects or units on the side containing a million objects or square units, so a million holes may be found in less than three square meters of window screens, or equal, about half a foot square (400-500 cm 2 ) from the bed sheet. Many cities 70 x 100 feet is about one million square inches.
- Volume: The root of a million cubes is only a hundred, so a million objects or cubic units contained in a cube are just a hundred objects or linear units on the side. One million grains of table salt or sugar only occupy about 64 ml (2.3 Ã, à ° impÃ, à ° fl; 2.2 Ã, à ° flÃ, oz AS), the volume of a hundred grains of cubes on the side. One million cubic inches will be a small room volume just / 3 long legs by 8 < span / 3 feet as wide 8 1 /< sub> 3 leg height.
- Mass: One million cubic millimeters (small droplets) of water will have a volume of one liter and a mass of one kilogram. A million milliliters or cubic centimeter (one cubic meter) of water has a mass of one million grams or a ton.
- Weight: One million honey bees 80 milligrams (1.2 grams) will have the same weight as a person weighing 80 kg (180 pounds).
- Landscape: The 600-foot (180 m) pyramid hill at the base and 100-foot (30 m) high will weigh about one million tonnes.
- Computers: The screen resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels contains 1,024,000 pixels.
- Money: Any denominated USD bill weighs 1 gram (0.035 oz). There are 454 grams in a pound. One million $ 1 bills will weigh 2,204.62 pounds (1,000.00 kg), or more than 1 ton.
