About these units
Quadrillion (quad)
10¹⁵ in the short scale.
Quadrillion is 10¹⁵, a thousand trillion, on the short scale, and it is a number most people meet only through energy statistics. The U.S. Energy Information Administration defines a quad as a quadrillion British thermal units and notes that national energy use typically reaches quadrillions of Btu. Its examples include 35.43 quads from petroleum, 33.61 from natural gas, and 8.17 from coal.
The name uses the Latin quadri-, four. It appears among the terms in Nicolas Chuquet's unpublished manuscript of 1484, alongside byllion and tryllion. On the long scale the same 10¹⁵ is called a billiard, and a quadrillion means 10²⁴. The SI prefix for 10¹⁵ is peta-. A quadrillion seconds is about 31.7 million years.
1 quadrillion = 1×10¹⁵ pieces (exactly).

Dozen (doz)
Twelve items. Eggs, rolls and many goods are still sold by the dozen.
Dozen entered English from Old French douzaine, a group of twelve, built from douze, which comes from Latin duodecim, plus a suffix that makes a collective. Twelve earned its popularity partly by dividing evenly: it splits into halves, thirds, quarters, and sixths, which helps when sharing goods. One suggestion is that the roughly dozen lunar months in a solar year made twelve one of the earliest groupings.
Even in a decimal age, dozens persist in commerce, often for foods such as eggs. Larger multiples extend the system by twelves: a gross is 12 dozen, or 144, and a great gross is 12 gross, or 1,728. The idiom six of one, half a dozen of the other uses the unit to say two options come to the same thing. Twelve also gave English the baker's dozen, which adds one more.
1 dozen = 12 pieces (exactly).
