quadrillionth

One over quadrillion

Quadrillionth describes the ordinal position in a sequence of one quadrillion items, or designates one part when something is divided into a quadrillion equal portions.

A quadrillion is a one followed by fifteen zeros in American usage, or twenty-four zeros in the older British system.

The word appears mainly in scientific contexts discussing infinitesimally small quantities: a quadrillionth of a second.

As with other extreme ordinals, it occasionally serves hyperbolic purposes to emphasize tedious repetition: For the quadrillionth time, clean your room.
