That's all I remember by heart. Powers of 10 is still easier for larger numbers.
If I say to you "10^13", can you type it down in word form in under 5 seconds, or would you have to think about it?
Personally, I have to think for a few seconds before I get
"ten trillion", and I can get from "2^13" to "eight thousand one hundred and ninety two" slightly faster.
