The Japanese word 倍 (bai) means "times" or "multiplied by". It is composed of the characters 億 (oku), which means "one hundred million", and 万 (man), which means "ten thousand". The combination of these two characters represents the idea of multiplication or exponential increase. The word 倍 is often used in mathematical expressions and in situations where one wishes to indicate an increase or multiplication of something.
