A sextillion is equal to 1021 in America, or 1036 in France and Germany.[1]

In the long scale, 1021 is called trilliard, which is commonly used in France and Germany.

This number is also called heptillion in Russ Rowlett's Greek-based naming system.[2]

Donald Knuth calls this number zeptiad, and it's equal to using the -yllion system.

It is the smallest -illion number whose successor isn't squarefree.[3]
