Claim: The term million uses the same prefix and symbol in both the short and long scale systems for integer powers of ten(ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times).
Evidence: The meaning of the word "million" is common to the short scale and long scale numbering systems, unlike the larger numbers, which have different names in the two systems. A power of 10 is any of the integer powers of the number ten; in other words, ten multiplied by itself a certain number of times (when the power is a positive integer). For whole numbers smaller than 1,000,000,000 (10), such as one thousand or one million, the two scales are identical.
