How much is that anyway? - Student Getting A+ Mark in Her Exam

How can I tell which dollar amount is more than the other? I can figure out many of them, Un, duo, tre, etc. are easy, as is oct, nov, dec, but some of them are just confusing.

Adventure Capitalist uses derived number prefixes based on the original Latin terms. Essentially, they take the number of zeroes, divide it by 3 discarding the remainder, and translate it to Latin.

There is a table on Wikipedia that explains these prefixes. The table can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeral_prefix.

As a further complication, this system also uses the German way of writing numbers, in that the smaller number is put in front of the larger number. So a digit with 63 zeroes (so 21 groups) becomes unvigintillion or something like that, I don't have the game handy right now.
