==== Tip One: Numbers into Words ====


If you find yourself dealing with big numbers, trying to compare your thousands, millions and billions and getting in a pickle over exactly how many zeros make a billion or a trillion, then Google can help.


Type a number, and 'in words', into Google, and get back the full thing written out.


For example, searching for [[http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=892,708,000+in+words|892,708,000 in words]] saved me from confusion when it came to comparing education statistics.
