The binary -illion naming system. Instead of calling 10^6 a million, call 10^6 a hundred thousand.
10^1 = ten
10^2 = a hundred
10^3 = ten hundred
10^4 = a thousand
10^5 = ten thousand
10^6 = a hundred thousand
10^7 = ten hundred thousand
And only introduce new names when the exponent is a power of two. So 10^16 is a billion and 10^32 is a trillion.

Obviously $\infty$ base system, literally any number is just r $\infty$ which makes sums easy, subtractions can be done by simply collecting the R and subtracting those.
