Note: English large numbers are usually grouped by 3 digits, while Chinese large numbers are grouped by 4 digits.
English has no single-word equivalents for many of these → uses combinations (e.g., “hundred million”)

* English: ×1,000 steps → million → billion → trillion
* Chinese: ×10,000 steps → 萬 → 億 → 兆 → 京 → 垓 → 秭 → 穰
