How about 1.575 times 10 to the 21st millions?
or 1.575 sextillion millions or for effect you could just read out all those zeros!
But wait and see what Ann thinks, she has the final say here.

And can you tell me how you would pronounce this lovely number
1,575,000,000,000,000,000,000 millions
I'm leaning towards "one thousand five hundred and seventy-five billion billion millions"
ETA:
Apparently, according to google, that's one sextillion, five hundred and seventy-five quintillion millions
Quintillion 18 1,000,000,000,000,000,000
Sextillion 21 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Chapter 4 is yours, thank you!
I am leaning toward the possibilities that Jo has given for ease of reading. I think that 1.57 sextillion millions sounds like the easiest. The one the all-knowing Google has given is probably accurate, but a bit cumbersome. I am fine with either possibility!

Thank you! I think the number should sound really big, and 1.57 kind of defeats that.icequeen wrote: ↑January 21st, 2022, 4:20 pmkristakz wrote: ↑January 21st, 2022, 8:32 am Can I read chapter 4?

But maybe 1,575 quintillion millions gets it across in the simplest terms (simple being merely a figure of speech in this case - sheesh that's a big number)

I asked my librarian about the noise, and she said, "no one would come here
if they weren't allowed to talk out loud." So I read out loud.
