By default, the game uses SI unit suffixes to display numbers that can get very large...
The first few suffixes: K (kilo) for thousand, M (mega) for million, G (giga) for billion may be familiar to you, but the latter ones are likely unfamiliar to most people.
Once we ran out of SI prefixes, we started compounding them (MY - Mega Yotta), check the table below for more details...
| Prefix | Power | Raw Number |
|---|---|---|
| K | 103 | 1 000 |
| M | 106 | 1 000 000 |
| G | 109 | 1 000 000 000 |
| T | 1012 | 1 000 000 000 000 |
| P | 1015 | 1 000 000 000 000 000 |

The advanced player may find usefulness to use Scientific Notation instead of SI prefixes. This can be changed by going to "Settings" and checking the Scientific Notation option.
