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.
Written out in ordinary decimal notation, it is 1 followed by 10100 zeroes; that is, a 1 followed by a googol of zeroes.
A googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 1 followed by 100 zeros. While this is an unimaginably large number, there's still an infinite quantity of larger numbers. One such number is googolplex, which is 10 to the power of a googol, or 1 followed by a googol of zeros.
Googolplex may well designate the largest number named with a single word, but of course that doesn't make it the biggest number. In a last-ditch effort to hold onto the hope that there is indeed such a thing as the largest number… Child: Infinity! Nothing is larger than infinity!
(This might sound familiar, as Google was named after this number, though they got the spelling wrong.) Graham's number is also bigger than a googolplex, which Milton initially defined as a 1, followed by writing zeroes until you get tired, but is now commonly accepted to be 10googol=10(10100).
There is no biggest, last number … except infinity. Except infinity isn't a number. But some infinities are literally bigger than others.
A googolplex is 10 raised to the power of a googol, that is it's one followed by a googol of zeroes." A googolplex is so large, there is not enough matter in existence to write it longhand. As numbers increase towards infinity, mathematicians know less and less about them.
Yet even this relatively modest version of infinity has many bizarre properties, including being so vast that it remains the same, no matter how big a number is added to it (including another infinity). So infinity plus one is still infinity.
a cardinal number represented in the U.S. by 1 followed by 303 zeros, and in Great Britain by 1 followed by 600 zeros.
A googolplex is a 1 followed by a googol of zeros.

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.
Googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Googolplex isn't just that number but has that many zeros in it.
Some numbers come after googolplex, and we have named them too. Skewes' number is one of the larger numbers than even a googolplex. This number was developed by mathematician Stanley Skewes and named after him. Skewes had a particular interest in prime numbers.
No, gazillion is not a specific number. It is an informal term that refers to a large quantity of something.
Infinity is a concept, not a number; therefore, the expression 1/infinity is actually undefined.
In arithmetic, 1 plus infinity is undefined and cannot be given a numerical value. Similarly, 1 minus infinity is undefined.
The Lord has no limitations; as Psalm 147:5 puts it: “Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.” Something or someone that is beyond all human measure is infinite by definition. No matter how hard we try to “measure” God, He will always go beyond us.
The number 1000000000000000000000000 is called a quintillion. In the long scale system of naming numbers, a quintillion is equal to 10^18 or a million billion. In the short scale system, which is commonly used in the United States, a quintillion is equal to 10^15 or a billion billion.
What comes after million, billion, and trillion? quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion, nonillion, and decillion.
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...
Zillion sounds like an actual number because of its similarity to billion, million, and trillion, and it is modeled on these real numerical values. However, like its cousin jillion, zillion is an informal way to talk about a number that's enormous but indefinite.
