  Numeration \Nu`mer*a"tion\, n. [L. numeratio a counting out: cf.
     F. num['e]ration.]
     1. The act or art of numbering.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Numeration is but still the adding of one unit more,
              and giving to the whole a new name or sign. --Locke.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. The act or art of reading numbers when expressed by means
        of numerals. The term is almost exclusively applied to the
        art of reading numbers written in the scale of tens, by
        the Arabic method. --Davies & Peck.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: For convenience in reading, numbers are usually
           separated by commas into periods of three figures each,
           as 1,155,465; in continental Europe, periods are used
           for a similar division. According to what is called the
           ``English'' system, the billion is a million of
           millions, a trillion a million of billions, and each
           higher denomination is a million times the one
           preceding. According to the system of the French and
           other Continental nations and also that of the United
           States, the billion is a thousand millions, and each
           higher denomination is a thousand times the preceding.
           [1913 Webster +PJC]
