No, a "zillion" is not a real, defined number; it's a made-up informal term used to mean a very large, unspecified quantity, similar to "gazillion" or "bajillion," modeled after actual number names like million, billion, and trillion. While you might say you have a "zillion" things to do, it's a placeholder for an enormous but indefinite amount, not a specific value like 10 21 1 0 2 1 (a sextillion) or 10 303 1 0 3 0 3 (a centillion).
Yes, an octillion is a very large number, representing 1 followed by 27 zeros (102710 to the 27th power1027) in the short scale (used in the U.S., Canada, and France) or 1 followed by 48 zeros (104810 to the 48th power1048) in the long scale (used in Britain and Germany). It's part of the naming system for large numbers that continues from million, billion, trillion, and so on, used in science and finance, although powers of ten are more common in science.
A thousand trillions is a quadrillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000. A thousand quadrillions is a quintillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000. A thousand quintillions is a sextillion: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
This is the Greek letter mu, used to denote 'micro', as 'm' was already taken. None of the words jillion, zillion, squillion, gazillion, kazillion, bajillion, or bazillion (or Brazilian) are real numbers. In the last two cases above, you'll notice that instead of an equals symbol we've used a squiggly equals symbol.
This sequence does not extend above 52 because it is, an untouchable number, since it is never the sum of proper divisors of any number. It is the first untouchable number larger than 2 and 5.
A millillion (alternately millinillion, milliatillion or milletillion) is equal to 103,003 in the short scale, or 106,000 in the long scale (this number is also called Platillion). It is made by combining "mille" (1,000) with the standard -illion suffix, which is itself derived from "mille".
It's rather rare but vigintillion is real enough, though its meaning has been disputed. Some old references explain it as 1 followed by 120 zeros (10120) but modern ones as 1 followed by a mere 63 zeros (1063).
a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 51 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 96 zeros.
Using this algorithm with hand computations on paper, Lucas showed in 1876 that the 39-digit number (2127 – 1) equals 170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303,715,884,105,727, and that value is prime. Also known as M127, this number remains the largest prime verified by hand computations.
A vigintillion is a massive number, most commonly defined in the short scale as 1 followed by 63 zeros (106310 to the 63rd power1063), making it one thousand novemdecillion, though historically and in the long scale (used in some European countries), it could mean 1 followed by 120 zeros (1012010 to the 120th power10120). The modern standard in English-speaking countries uses the short scale, where a vigintillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0001 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000 comma 0001,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Quattuorvigintillion. A unit of quantity equal to 1075 (1 followed by 75 zeros).
a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 39 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 72 zeros.
A googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol of zeros.
It's impossible to write out, but in scientific notation it looks like 1 x 1010^100.
One trillion is a thousand billions, or equivalently a million millions. It is a 1 with 12 zeros after it, denoted by 1,000,000,000,000. One trillion seconds is 32,000 years. 5.
A unit of quantity equal to 1096 (1 followed by 96 zeros).
A unit of quantity equal to 1054 (1 followed by 54 zeros).
vigintillion. a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 63 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 120 zeros.
A quattuordecillion is equal to 1045 in America, or 1084 in France and Germany. In the long scale, 1045 is called septilliard, which is commonly used in France and Germany. This number is also called pentadekillion in Russ Rowlett's Greek-based naming system.
Similar to words like zillion, tons, or oodles, jillion is perfect for talking about a huge but vague number. It's also hyperbolic — in other words, it's an exaggeration. The word is modeled on actual numbers like million and billion, so it almost sounds like a real quantity. But like zillion, jillion is imprecise.
The number 12,345,678,910,987,654,321 is indeed prime. It consists of 20 digits and is really easy to remember: count to 10 and then count backward again until you get to 1. But it has been unclear whether other primes take the palindromic form of starting at 1, ascending to the number n and then descending again.
Yes, Google is a misspelling of "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, which founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin chose to represent the vast amount of information they aimed to organize. The name stuck after a friend, Sean Anderson, accidentally typed "google.com" instead of "googol.com" while checking domain availability, and Page liked the sound of the misspelled word.
Googolplex is a finite number, albeit an incredibly large one. In set theory, infinity represents an unbounded and limitless concept. While googolplex demonstrates immense magnitude, it is still finite in nature.
The term was coined by Jonathan Bowers. It is 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,004 digits long. Vecillion is also known as one milliamilliamilliamilliamilliamilliamilliamilliamilliamilliatillion according to Landon Curt Noll's The English name of a number.
A unit of quantity equal to 1093 (1 followed by 93 zeros).
