General definition (in Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: BuddhismPrabheda (啶啶班き啷囙う, 鈥渢en-thousand鈥�) is the fifth of sixty digits (decimal place) in an special enumeration system mentioned by Vasubandhu in his Abhidharmako艣a (鈥渢reasury of knowledge鈥�).

Enumeration begins from one and increases by a factor of ten for each shift in decimal place. The sixtieth number in this series is called 鈥渃ountless鈥�.
Among these decimal positions (e.g., prabheda, 鈥渢en-thousand鈥�), the first nine positions from one to one hundred million are called 鈥�single set enumeration鈥�. From a billion up to, but not including countless is 鈥渢he enumeration of the great companion鈥� and is called the 鈥�recurring enumeration鈥�.
