Google is the word that is more common to us now, and so it is sometimes mistakenly used as a noun to refer to the number 10100. That number is a googol, so named by Milton Sirotta, the nephew of the American mathematician Edward Kasner, who was working with large numbers like 10100.
A googol is a 1 followed by 100 zeros (or 10100 ). It was given its whimsical name in 1937 by mathematician Edward Kasner's young nephew, and became famous when an internet search engine, wanting to suggest that it could process a huge amount of data, named itself Google.
A googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 1 followed by 100 zeros.
A googol is 1 followed by 100 zeros.
You've probably gotten into these contests as kids before, seeing who can spit out the biggest number. Everyone loves to pull out infinity, or the fabled “infinity plus one.” Maybe if you were inclined to do so, you pulled out the googol or the googolplex. Smaller than infinity, but really big numbers each.
These numbers are quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion.
We call 1,000,000 a million, 1,000,000,000 a billion, 1,000,000,000,000 a trillion, 1,000,000,000,000,000 a quadrillion, 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 a quintillion, and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 a sextillion.
Billion 1,000,000,000 (9 zeros) Trillion 1,000,000,000,000 (12 zeros) Quadrillion 1,000,000,000,000,000 (15 zeros) Quintillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (18 zeros) Sextillion 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (21 zeros)
Written out in ordinary decimal notation, it is 1 followed by 10100 zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes.
Quite an amazing man." The final question was: "A number one followed by 100 zeros is known by what name?" A googol, a megatron, a gigabit or a nanomol.
Infinity is not a number, but a concept. We can define infinity as the object that is larger than any other number, but infinity is not a real number itself, since it doesn't fulfill the same axioms that the real numbers do.
"Googol and Googolplex".
As we know, 1 million = 1, 000, 000 or one thousand thousand.
noun, plural sex·til·lions, (as after a numeral) sex·til·lion. a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 21 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 36 zeros.
/ˈtrɪljɪn/ A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000, also known as 10 to the 12th power, or one million million.
a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 303 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 600 zeros.
isn't it sextillion? There are actually three accepted words for that number: hexillion, heptrillion, and sextillion.
Then, you finally reach Millinillion. Repeat with those numbers to reach Billinillion. After that comes a Trillinillion, Quadrillinillion, Quintillinillion, Sextillinillion, Septillinillion, Octillinillion, Nonillinillion, and on...
A unit of quantity equal to 1066 (1 followed by 66 zeros).
