It's easier to see in exponents...the exponential is the number of zeros after the one, for example:

1E6 = 1,000,000 1 MILLION
1E9 = 1,000,000,000 1 BILLION
1E12 =1,000,000,000 1 TRILLION

Your calculations are correct...

1000 x 1000 is 1E3 X 1E3 = 1E6 (the exponents add)

1000E6 = 1E9 OR 1 BILLION

1000E9 = 1E12 OR 1 TRILLION
